Originally when Korea had very few mappers, things were pretty barren. Well before the administrative boundaries were added, "centroids" of all the different levels of administrative divisions were imported by a Korean mapper to help out. No, they probably should not have been added as "towns", especially the "-eup, -myeon, and -ri" divisions since the "centroids" rarely corresponds to any actual towns or villages. Part of the problem was language and translating the idea of those lower divisions.<br>In all honestly, those points that correspond to nothing (originally "centroids") could probably be removed or moved to a town/village that actually does represent the division. However, Korea still has only a few mappers and even fewer mappers that are on the ground and not doing "armchair mapping" which means people might not know which town to move the points to.<br>I suppose as administrative boundaries continue to be added to the lower levels, we won't need those points at all. But the Korean government is pretty stingy with (and paranoid about) their map data, so it will take some time. I will pass on the information here to other mappers with a suggestion of moving or removing "towns" that don't actually represent anything. I wouldn't suggest a wholesale deletion, though because I know some of the points are relevant.</blockquote><div><br></div><div>Robert </div></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br clear="all"><div><div class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><i>"We should give meaning to life, not wait for life to <br>give us meaning.

<br>
I'm one of the people from osm-carto team (default map on OSM website) and somebody has just reported a problem with placename labels, which seems to be a problem with tagging:<br>

How do you think it could be fixed?<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>
