I have always been real good about ensuring my business and the surrounding businesses (and other locations) are up to date in Apple, Bing, and Google Maps. I just started looking at OpenStreet Maps and see it has not been updated in over 3 years (and 2 locations ago). I updated the address, but the marker did not move. I do not see a way to move the marker to the correct location.
I am guessing I need to move all of the info (most of it is inaccurate) to where my business is currently located and then mark the old location as closed, or is there a better way to do that?
We don’t do “approval” here, all changes are live directly. However, it might be that your application of choice simply didn’t update yet.
I am using organic maps on iOS. It shows the business that was in my shop two businesses ago (they left in the spring of 2021, while the business before me left in February 2024).
Is there a way to get it to use updated maps?
Check OpenStreetMap (e.g. using MapComplete.org) if the data there is correct. If it is, update Organic Maps or the maps in Organic Maps. (I’m more of an OsmAnd person, so don’t know how that is done)
@nokturne213 @pietervdvn @organicmaps updates the map once a month
@mcliquid @nokturne213 @pietervdvn The goal is to update at least weekly, maybe even more often. More donations = more money to scale the development and server load = more cool features, including more frequent updates.
As MC dev, I’m a bit curious on how your data pipeline works. Is there some documentation around for this?
@pietervdvn there is some documentation on GitHub.
