The disadvantages of copying other people's maps
نُشِر بواسطة davespod في 22 نوفمبر 2012 باللغة EnglishI am pleased to report that the island “proven by scientists not to exist” (by attempting to visit it) does not appear in OSM:

That’s fascinating indeed. Thanks for the interesting read.

OSM twitter feed says our contributors actually go out and survey (which many do).
At the same time OSM organises Operation Cowboy - an armchair mapping festival.
I’ll prefer surveys every time.

regarding another Sandy Island which had wikipedia editors confused, why doesn’t the Lacepede’s Sandy Island render on OSM? osm.org/browse/way/187645473 is it because it’s from Oct 25?

@alexz In OSM coastline is a special case. It only gets updated occasionally and until then the island won’t render. It could take weeks before the coastline job runs next. More info here
