This is no highway... I have friends living in that part of the city and I drove there 2 days ago. That street is not asphalted, bumpy, and not suitable for big traffic.

Added "Janów" in alt_name:pl and "Ёнава" in alt_name:be.
For Belarusian names abroad, I will try to add always the traditional name as primary as that is the one that is used by Belarusian speakers (and not simple transliterations) :) Any additional questions, feel free to ask

49051984 about 8 years ago

Are you referring to Janów nad Wilią in Polish and Янава in Belarusian?
Janów na Wilią is available in a couple of sources, among which wikimapia http://wikimapia.org/739189/pl/Jan%C3%B3w-nad-Wili%C4%85 and Янава is the traditional Belarusian name (https://be-tarask.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%AF%D0%BD%D0%B0%D0%B2%D0%B0_(%D0%9B%D0%B5%D1%82%D1%83%D0%B2%D0%B0))

Hi! Sure. In this specific case it is wikipedia in Polish (though it is shown as a historical name). I know it sounds more Lithuanian than Polish, but well... you know how it is in PL/BY/LT/LV where Baltic names tend to be mixed with Slavic ones. As I know wikipedia is far from perfect, for other Polish names I use most of all pre-war maps and Polish government sources (like for Lithuania). One of my projects is also to translate into various languages I know some points of interest, but this will come after this vast project. I hope this explanation helps. Any question or doubts don't hesitate to write me a PM. Kind regards. Jerry

Btw, I read those Google terms. There is only one mention that may make you think it is a criminal offence (but this sentence is still ambiguous): "No incorporating Google software into other software. You will not incorporate any software provided as part of the Service into other software."
As OSM is not a commercial service whatsoever and they are mentioning only "software" and not "data", I see no restriction on incorporating GSV or GM data into OSM... How do you think?

Change reverted (it was only one field road ...)

(I mean: in "name:pl" and not in "name")

48416514 about 8 years ago

Aaaaaaaaa. I wanted to fill them in Polish, not in the "name" tag".
Thanks.

You could have written that earlier - we are people, aren't we? It is important to talk. I am new to openstreetmap and so far, absolutely no one in Latvia, Belarus, Russian or Poland made any problem out of my changes to any border checkpoint, road, name, etc.as the aim is to be as accurate as possible.
As I told you: I am not mapping "randomly" as you wrote. I cross those border checkpoints in Lavoriškės, Šumskas and Medininkai regularly between April and October so I know them by heart. If it were not forbidden to film, I would even provide you a movie from there. I separated those lanes because they get separated at some point (solid obstacles between them). Otherwise, I wouldn't have made separate lanes. Here is one proof (it hasn't changed since this pic was made, in 2013. This is the view towards Vilnius https://plus.google.com/photos/photo/100402212156008529911/5877164169356688482)
Could you please kindly provide a link of what I am supposed to read?

Hi Tomas, why do you keep deleting the border checkpoint limits? I enter them so it is clear where they are, and so do OSM users around the world.
Moreover, I had created a couple of lanes on the Lavoriškės checkpoint in order to ease border crossing for people ("All passports", "EU/EEE/CH" and "TIR" lanes).
I do understand your point about WC name deleting (although I put "plastmasė" on purpose as not everyone likes this kind of public toilets).
However, all the other info is useful for users having issues in choosing their lanes & knowing where the border checkpoint limits are; as those border crossing are absolutely not user-friendly.
Regards,

Hmmm. Strange. Last time I drove there it was a horrible dirt road. I will try to check it out one of the next times I drive to Poland.

Hi Poornima!
Thanks for your note.
How can I see where is the mistake I made? I see only a zone, but not the place itself.
Kind regards

Thanks. My computer crashed when I was modifying that one ...

47972121 over 8 years ago

Hmmm... Strange. Anyway, as I told you - I remember it was made automatically. Perhaps to distinguish it from the village Кемяны on the other side of the border, which is also called "Kiemiany" in Polish. Technology mysteries :D

47972121 over 8 years ago

Which name are you talking about? Sometimes when you add a name in a language it automatically adds some indications like "rejon wileński" and so on. Perhaps it is somehow linked with Wikipedia?

Hi. I live in Vilnius, I went already 3 times to Varnikai and I know people in this institution: http://www.vstt.lt/VI/index.php. The official name is Varnikų pažintinis takas and not Varnikų gamtos takas. Moreover, please have a look by yourself:
