Recently, I wanted to fix a few local islands and public parks in coastal Maine, where I have local knowledge. But much to my dismay, the local area was pretty thoroughly broken:
- The county lines along the coast are based on a really old (and incorrect) data set. - There's some confusion between towns (admin_level=8) and sub-town boundaries (admin_level=?). - Most towns are marked with nothing more than GNIS points. As a result, the local maps are incorrect, ugly (thanks to the bad county lines everywhere) and incompatible with Nominatim. I've prepared a more detailed explanation of what's wrong, with pictures, examples, and a couple of possible ways to improve things: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/User:Ekidd/Coastal_Maine_problems Personally, I'd be interested in tackling 4 small towns and maybe the Lincoln county boundary. But it looks like a large portion of the Maine coast suffers from similar problems. If anybody feels qualified to address the larger problems, I'd be grateful—and happy to help out. Thank you for your feedback and suggestions! -Eric
