I'll add a place node at the intersection that uses Austrepollen as main name and Mauranger as alt name. Please contact municipality or and/or kartverket and make a case for name change or something for this. For a name change I believe the municipality has to do it. If you gather more people in the area and contact them as a group it might help. I believe private person can only request name change of a farm they own.

I think maybe Snapchat uses a 3rd party supplier of data. Someone told me it might be Mapbox, and they update their data from OSM very rarely these days as they wanted oversight to avoid bad data.
So even if we do a change in the map it might take months or years. I've seen maps in media based on OSM from Mapbox that are very old. Like on nrk.no and VG and so on.

It would be just like the farm names in the area basically. A point on the map.

How maps and apps choose to use an alt_name or loc_name depends on them. Usually i would say Mauranger as that is the main name.

Places are not really defined as areas in OSM, but rather as points on the map. One reason for that is that there is no defined area legally or physically on the ground, and it would just lead to arguments and tagging wars.

A hamlet is just above a farm in OSM, but below a village, so it will display sooner on maps that support the distinction. Village really should have some amenities like a store and a school. When working on an import of SSR I think the community landed on using hamlet for places defined as "bygdelag" in SSR.

Best option we can do in OSM for cases like this would be to add a node with place=hamlet + name=Mauranger + alt_name=Austrepollen. The node would then be put at the SSR location for Mauranger at the intersection between fv49 and fv500.

Complain to the municipality and/or Kartverket if you feel its wrong. We kind of have to follow the official data if OSM is to be taken serious by gov. agencies and more.

The hamlet is actually called Mauranger in Kartverket data. https://www.norgeskart.no/#!?project=norgeskart&layers=1002&zoom=14&lat=6697662.11&lon=18986.49&sok=mauranger&markerLat=6697662.110554731&markerLon=18986.487201736483&panel=searchOptionsPanel

Residential areas are also used as lancover for just that, a built up residential area, not for making a big random square over other landcover types like you do.

96092285 almost 5 years ago

That doesn't change the official fact that there is no residential area or village name in Kartverket data. If you feel there should be then complain to them.

Please stop adding a big box with residential for Austrepollen. There is no such thing. Austrepollen is a road name and a bay, not a residential area.

There is no int_ref for this road as its a country road with number 546. Please remove the int_ref from Fanavegen.

You are breaking several land cover relations with your edits. Suggest using JOSM editor that is better at dealing with these. Also try reducing the areas you edit in the beginning.

Why keep changing this from official plans? The final road will be imported from NVDB when its done anyway.

Why are you setting this as construction? Did they actually start on the last part if the ring road?
Haven't heard anything about this on relevant project sites.

Why was this changed to construction?

Any documentation on changing this to motorway? As far as I know this road is not a motorway yet if it will ever be. The description is also not good.

Thank you. No idea how I managed to delete the tag on the part 5 of the import work. I'll check the entire municipality for errors with OSM Inspector or similar when its all done.

Hi, welcome to OSM. Please do not attach things to the address nodes as they are updated from Kartverket via scripts.

92857657 about 5 years ago

Welcome to OSM. Please do not modify the address nodes in OSM for Norway. They are added and maintained via official cadastre database. Make a new point with the data for shops.

Did you check wiki before doing N50 imports? This is not the proper way to do this. Please read osm.wiki/Import/Catalogue/Topography_import_for_Norway#Framgangsm.C3.A5te

Welcome to OSM. Make sure you do not use Bing in Norway it is inaccurate. Use the preferred imagery Norway Orthophoto
