Hey Sue,

Thanks for the correction on the information about your street. Steve
probably won't fix the problem on your street though. He's got a lot
of things to do, and there are an awful lot of streets in the world to
look after.

Did you notice that OpenStreetMap is a crowd sourced project? That
means that instead of just poor old Steve trying to map the world, a
whole crowd of us are mapping the world. The best part of this is that
when you see that your street is named incorrectly, YOU can fix it.
You can also look around your neighborhood, and fix other street
names, add new streets as they are built, add points of interest, and
a whole gamut of other things.

Interested in being part of the crowd? Join us, and start having fun
making the map in your area the best it can be. You're more of an
expert on your street than any of us in the UK (Steve) or Canada
(myself), or anywhere else will be. You can observe and enter the
information directly without having to wait for someone else to make
the changes.

James

PS. If you want to play, I'm leaving your street with the wrong name
so you have an easy first task... if you need help, just ask on the
newbies at openstreetmap.org reflector!
