In some cases I've added names after the townland boundary was mapped, adding the name can be useful to spot spelling mistakes or where the boundary was misinterpreted and the name does not line up with the center of the townland. > FWIW, I do find the default osm style's "label on the boundary line" hard to read sometime, but the double-labeled townlands caused by towland nodes are even weirder. I'd rather solve this with code than data. While I agree it makes sense at some point to remove the duplicates I also think that doing it now will make the map worse. I don't see the rush when there are still incorrect townland boundaries and nodes that are kilometres off where they should be. ________________________________ From: moltonel 3x Combo <molto...@gmail.com> Sent: Friday 4 October 2019 18:39 To: Discussion of OpenStreetMap in Ireland <talk-ie@openstreetmap.org> Subject: Re: [OSM-talk-ie] Duplicate townland nodes On 03/10/2019, Dave Foley <davefo...@hotmail.com> wrote: > I don't think they should be deleted, I've been routinely deleting townland nodes as townland relations were being added.

That seems like tagging for the renderer, at the expense of having duplicate entries which might confuse for example geocoders. At least add the node to the relation with a role=label (https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Relation:boundary#Relation_members) so deduplication is possible. FWIW, I do find the default osm style's "label on the boundary line" hard to read sometime, but the double-labeled townlands caused by towland nodes are even weirder.
