[OSM-Talk-ZA] Street names repeated many times in the Name Field.

[Vesuvius]

Afternoon.
I Have seen this before, using my *shameful* old version of JOSM. But on
investigation it does not show inside JOSM, only after upload.
Would also like to know why this happens.

PS: never heard of Vespucci, looks ideal for droid, thanks for mentioning
it.
