Hi there
I am an OSM user, mainly through the Outdooractive app.
When I log walks in and around my village of Rørvig, Denmark, they get locked as being in “Kottageparken”, presumed by someone to be a hamlet in the area. However, “Kottageparken”, obviously based on a street in the area called Cottageparken, does not exist. I have not found reference to it anywhere else, and local residents all think I am referring to the above-mentioned street.
I have attempted to remove it from the OSM map, but to no avail. The “hamlet” seems to have been created several years ago by a summer cottage resident.
This “hamlet” needs to be removed, as it concerns anyone using OSM in this area. It appears on the map at
55°56’59.1"N 11°44’40.1"E.
How do I proceed?
Best regards
Simply delete the node in iD, that should have near immediate effect on Nominatim and the default map, third party apps will take longer
[assuming you’re referring to this specific node Node: Kottageparken (4607335661) | OpenStreetMap]
I took care of it.
Hi Sharko
Any idea how long removal of the non-existent hamlet “Kottageparken” will take to implement? It still raises its ugly head when I log tracks in the locality, the village of Rørvig, known by everybody by that name. (Feb 8)
Which application are you using to log tracks? They vary in terms of how frequently they update data from OSM.
Edit: ah, I see the reference to Outdooractive in first message now, sorry, please disregard this question!
It has been implemented 21 days ago, as you can see on the map:
openstreetmap or outdooractive.
You may need to get a new map from outdooractive. App usually deliver an update once a month, but it can vary a lot.
It’s been removed immediately after I submitted the change. How long it’ll take to update entirely depends on the app’s map update schedule (if it even has one)
