Dear all,

somebody asked me this question and asked me to ask you.

Is the information in OpenStreetMap reliable?

Would it be ok to draw coordinates from OpenStreetMap and put them in the 034 field for place authorities? Could OpenStreetMaps be a recognized source in $$2?


Thank you for your input!
