Not exactly 10 seconds, but it's down to a couple of minutes now (to 
locate something you're trying to find), which is approaching usable.

Proposed brand is still rubbish in some cases. 
http://audit.osmz.ru/browse/navads_fuel/NVDS320_20121101 is an example, 
I'm sure there are others.

Thanks.

You haven't answered the question about data that looks wrong being 
added (in some cases overwriting plausible values that came from your 
own previous import!).

You also haven't replied to the suggestion that you don't overwrite data 
that was marked with a source containing survey (either on the object or 
the changeset).  Quite a lot of this new data seems to be "just plain 
wrong"; it would be a shame to overwrite valid, surveyed information 
with it.

Would it be possible to just see new points?  The biggest issues with 
locations last time was with those.

Also would it be possible to see the data that an object was previously 
edited and the age of the Navads data?  For example, I know that the 
opening hours for 
http://audit.osmz.ru/browse/navads_fuel/NVDS331_00000193 changed a 
little over 3 months ago, but has it changed _again_ in the last 3 
months?  In this case there's actually a piece of paper stuck over the 
"official" sign saying what the opening hours were/are - it's a somewhat 
fluid situation.

> Alas, I cannot decide with certainty whether a POI is a fuel station with a shop, or a shop with a fuel station nearby. Please report such occurences, so I can filter more brands.

That does suggest a worrying lack of confidence in the data - it seems 
to invalidate some of the bold statements on the front page of 
http://audit.osmz.ru/project/navads_fuel .

Maybe instead make this data available as a resource for mappers to use 
(which would give everyone the freedom to decide what editors etc. to 
use, and what other tags to add, as per Jo's point previously).
