OpenStreetMap
Have all of the GNIS classes been imported? I have noticed at least two classes that do not show up in an area where other GNIS features appear. One is "Ridge", the other is "Pillar" (as in a rock formation). Perhaps they are just not being rendered? At the location associated with this post is "Twin Owls", a prominent rock formation (GNIS Class = Pillar), and "Lumpy Ridge." For those of us that spend time in the back country, these are important features to show on a map. I searched the Wiki, but it didn't explicitly say that some classes were excluded.

All GNIS data was imported as of this past Summer. If they aren't showing up in the map on openstreetmap.org, it's most likely because they weren't tagged in a way that the renderer would draw them.

@yellowbkpk thanks for the reply. If I am editing in Potlatch, shouldn't all features be displayed? How do I tell if the data is really there or not so I don't add duplicate information?
