With points of interest being hit or miss in areas I was wondering if anyone knew of places that contributed to openstreet maps as matter of public policy. Any examples?

    Maybe not quite what you’re meaning, but in New Zealand there’s a lot of data on addresses, roads, and buildings available publicly. This data has been used to add the addresses, roads, and buildings nationwide, to create a pretty complete set of data for navigation purposes.

      That’s what I mean! In the US the postal address of places are public data from what I understand, but I haven’t seen a lot of those addresses in Organic Maps. Same with registered businesses. Do you know who in your area takes that data and uploads it openstreet maps?
