Reading any old document or fiction would benefit from freely available data affixing the then used place names to present world places. There are numerous centuries old travel diaries that use "old" spellings of place names, and if they were available, one could follow them more precisely. Btw. I'm not against having two different keys for "a not current name but living people have used it 'daily' " and "an old name that is only in documents. The old abandoned names still refer to the present day object. -- alv _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
