Only somewhat related, but anyone know why there are so many hospitals
on that map? Is that just some unusual tagging?

Thank you -- that's cool.

On the flip side, a large chunk of one of the main roads you'd take to
actually _get_there_ is missing.

Looking further left, we can see that also some of the "new" borders
within former Yugoslavia are missing.
Does anybody have any idea where to get them from? That's a somewhat
important feature which really needs to be in our map, IMHO.

Wow, impressive! Do you know, is there an external data source  
involved here or is it all community mapping?
