Hi My local area has been given the wrong area name. I'd like to change that, but can only see how to edit the street name itself rather than the area name, and the area tool is only for things like parks and lakes(??). Thanks asked 13 Jun '13, 11:22 teoclaid |
Ideally draw a polygon of the area and tag that. you could then copy over the node data to the polygon. That should fix the issue, it may take a while for the new polygon to work correctly in search box. see https://help.openstreetmap.org/questions/5745/town-nodes-and-polygons-that-fail-to-confine-the-name-within-an-area answered 13 Jun '13, 13:21 andy mackey Thank you Andy, I'll have a look over that information and give it a go!

Is this the area we are discussing? http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=56.483549&lon=-2.853248&zoom=18&layers=M
(Wild guess: You see something like Balmossie but it should be something else.)
That's the one ;) It extends further to the East. Balmossie is the area north of the A92, this area should be Panmurefield... Any ideas where/if I can edit that field and specify the area it covers?
