Hi Mateusz, Thank you for your interest. For names used in news or social media reports, you can find their location using public domain AMS map (and possibly old_name) and Bing (or other allowed satellite imagery). Mappers wishing to help add names in OSM for Fiji can contact me, and I'll share access to a spreadsheet where we collect place names that are missing in OSM, and that we come across in news or social media reports. Best wishes, Jean-Guilhem -- "On ne m’ôtera pas de l’idée que, pendant la dernière guerre mondiale, de nombreux juifs ont eu une attitude carrément hostile à l’égard du régime nazi."
