Thinking a bit more about it - it's a positive thing to have short term rental properties in OSM, as someone pointed out, someone configuring a renderer might decide not to display them until a relatively high zoom level.
One of the properties is listed on at least half a dozen websites, so this person probably has a commercial interest in directing users to their particular listing. As long as they aren't deleting other website references, and particularly the official website if there is one, then maybe it's okay? Though if I was mapping them myself, I'd link Holiday Inn properties to the Holiday Inn (IHG) website rather than my personal website. Would someone following this link pay a higher rental price than other websites? 🤔 On Sat, 23 Aug 2025, 15:13 Philip Barnes, <[email protected]> wrote: > Their latest edit is adding an apartment where they tagged the entire > building looks wrong. > > I have commented on this, at the moment with my DWG hidden down the side > of the settee, asking for sources and in that case verifiability. > > I have raised a ticket so if anyone wishes to add a comment please email > to [email protected] with the subject [Ticket#2025082310000136] > > Phil (trigpoint) > > > On 23 August 2025 12:48:56 BST, David Woolley <[email protected]> > wrote: > >> On 23/08/2025 09:25, Edward Bainton wrote: >> >>> I do wonder what London will look like if every AirBnB gets added to the >>> map like this.
