Where do you get the map data for your device ? AFAIK Garmin map files are not multilingual, you need to install a map file that is either all-Arabic or prefers the local language.

If getting the map data directly from Garmin, check their docs or ask on their user forums.

If using a community-made OSM Garmin file, try to find one that suits your preferences, or follow the “build your own” instructions.

The location you give as an example is mapped with Arabic names, contradicting your statement. Are you asking about a particular render of OSM data ?

Some apps, like OrganicMaps, try to display names in the user’s language and may even transliterate to latin script. But others, like OSMAnd, use the main name as mapped, which should be in the local language.

Amazing that there are still such neat sites in need of recording, great find :)

I got curious about the different river name, but didn’t find much. Funnily enough, one mention is this property ad (which probably just got the name from Google), which is very near the stone circle. And I can’t help but laugh looking north of Ballymoe, where Google thinks that River Suck is a tributary to/of itself.

Nice ! Thanks for recreating this service.

I notice still some English names on this map (airports, shopping centers, buildings…). Is that intentional ?

Ce genre d’erreur semble étonnant mais ça peut arriver. Quelles sont les communes mal localisées ? Cela vaudrais aussi la peine d’ouvrir une note (bouton sur la droite, sur la carte) pour chaque commune, ce sera plus visible qu’un billet de blog.

Don’t confuse hill_fort and ringfort. Ireland mostly has the later.

We have a few more subtags, but they aren’t very standardized yet (check taginfo) and some are quite technical.

You might also want to check our resident archaeological expert’s youtube videos which have interesting Ireland-specific info about tagging and sources.

Why restrict yourself ? There are other sources at our disposal, and Bing isn’t always the best.

The technical side of creating a proxy shouldn’t be too hard: get a server with a big disk and a lot of bandwidth, restrict access to OSM accounts via Oauth, and make sure different actors (not just OSM Foundation) can setup and federate caching for the same sources, and make it easy to update the software and sources list.

That’d (hopefully) solve Maxar’s issue, but would also be a clean ready-made solution for things like Strava or one-off HOT imagery.

The trickyer part of the problem is financing the bandwidth and worldwide servers. Bing is big enough that OSM takes just a small fraction of their resources. Mapbox has OSM in its DNA. For smaller and less engaged players, we’ll need to foot the bill, wether OSMF directly, using a big sponsor, or using lots of small sponsors and great federation..

I see a lively discussion in changeset/77387716, that’s good. Hopefully you’ll reach a consensus (I’m not good enough at Italian to see if that’s the case).

If that discussion doesn’t work, try reaching the osm.wiki/Data_working_group
