<p>The information for a olc location is already encoded in OSM.  Adding it means you may have a conflict so technically using what is there already means one less thing to go wrong.</p>
<p>What exactly are your requirements?  How do you know the OLC to start with?  What software is used in the field and the office?  Are you using printed maps?</p>
<p>Thanks John</p>
