[OSM-dev] [OSM-talk] Latest planet.osm contains incorrect data

[Ralf Zimmermann]

Hi Guys,

I was away a few days. I now checked the latest planet.osm from 05-Dec. 
It seems to have encoding issues again. For example "München" (Munich) 
is not correct anymore. In the planet.osm from 28-Nov, this entry was 
still ok. The modification date of the node is the same, so in terms of 
encoding I guess the export script is broken again!

I checked a few streets with German Umlauts in the street name and they 
all are corrupted as well!

Were there any changes to the export script for planet.osm? If so, 
please check it for encoding issues.

Best regards,

Ralf
Munich/Germany
