I might be wrong. > Two examples that can't be resolved by a spatial query: 1) There is a business near me named "Maxwell House". It is entirely unrelated to the coffee brand of that name, despite both companies operating in the same country. 2) Until recently, there was a burger joint in town called "Sonic's" that was entirely unrelated to the chain of drive-in eateries. (When the national chain opened up a location in town, they paid the existing restaurant to re-brand.) -- Mark _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
