sometimes, sometimes it's clear.  sometimes you walk in the area, you 
see the façade and you wonder how they can know the name of the shop and 
not have seen it's three shops in the same building, nor take note of 
what kind of shop it is.

since then I fixed a few, but I do not plan continuing to do so. I don't 
come too often to Panama City.  I signaled it two months ago to Kaart 
(via Vigo) and I hope they will indeed "improve future edits made by 
Kaart", in the meanwhile, not having seen any activity from them, and 
since they're now editing an other aspect, again without consulting with 
the local community, I moved to adding a 'fixme' tag to their most 
obvious mistakes.
