I don't think it is related to copying from google maps either. I have had public and private correspondence with a mapper who had copied inaccurate stuff from GoogleMaps from his armchair in another continent. After months Australian mappers have removed most of the tainted data from the Australian continent because the mapper was not able / willing to do so. It required two public challenges to get action on the matter. Other work by that mapper covers other areas well away from his home and is also likely to have had the same source- could the Board please just remove all that mappers edits too? _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
