[OSM-talk] Bad (wrong?) OSM publicity?

[Toshikazu SETO]

Hi all,

I also agree with the opinion of Taichi-san.

The Japanese famous incorrect case is, for example  "Se Den Koku Ku
Ritsu Ou Taku To Sho Kan".
http://tosseto.info/blog/wp-content/uploads/1fce26a763cfad94eef6cc8f77c0fee2.png

This place is the public library of Setagaya (Okusawa blanch), "of
cource" OSM is correct information.
http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/node/1420766049
http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=35.603596&lon=139.672736&zoom=18&layers=M

Additionally, this bug is not included iPC (one of the Japanese map
agency), I guess.

I think, we are continue to compare to Apple's map and OSM data and we
need to certificate the correctness of the OSM data other place.
