Agree. Has anyone actually asked the retail chains? I haven't because I don't want to suggest that we will do anything with the data until I know we have the right tools in place to match entries in their database and in OSM. I'm sure it's an easy task but I don't know how to do that. I'd also like to see community support in place so that we can merge in some of their attributes (phone number, opening hours, etc). This could be a bigger challenge! Regards, Rob
