</div>If you mean the one returned in the namefinder in the Geonames<br>
section, it isn't in OSM, but is in Geonames.<br>

The Haiti 1:50k maps surround that point by Obléon, Grand Place and<br>
Carrefour Beraque and I think Grand Place is the one most likely to<br>
refer to Guibert, though of the three is the only one of those three<br>
not currently added from the 1:50k maps (Haiti-tlm-50)<br>
<br>
Perhaps someone else can say whether we can add <a href="http://geonames.org" target="_blank">geonames.org</a> place<br>
details (CC-BY) to OSM?<br></blockquote></div><br><a href="http://geonames.org">geonames.org</a> is not necessarily a good source of data. Most points come from the US government in the first place: <a href="http://earth-info.nga.mil/gns/html/index.html">http://earth-info.nga.mil/gns/html/index.html</a> . I thought it was previously evaluated as not good enough for OSM.<br>
