Organic maps SPECIFICALLY doesn’t want that. It would be grounds for them being sued and having to comb through their database and remove any “questionable” material.

It would be the end of the project, they don’t have money for that.

Not Organic Maps, that’s just the client. The data is OpenStreetMap, more info about imports here: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Import

@Melatonin No problem 🙂 Organic Maps is a great client for OSM. And doesn’t it feel good knowing that by correcting something through Organic Maps you are taking part in a community of 10M users who together created a 2TB xml file map of the whole planet, free for anyone to download? It’s one of the miracles of the free libre world.
