OSM? E.g. updating say the location and elevation, everything else is the<br>
same. In context, GNIS mountain is here, but really it's there (which is<br>
usually the case for GNIS).<br>

Or, just leave the GNIS object alone, and add a new OSM feature? Not sure<br>
how folks feel about GNIS.</div></blockquote></div><br>According to the wiki, <a href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/GNIS">http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/GNIS</a> feel free to modify or remove the tag. The wiki does suggest leaving tag gnis:feature_id unless the node is being removed. If you are adding a building polygon, for example a fire station, merge the gnis tags with the building outline.<br>
