How to fix an error in addresses

0

The addresses of my my house and the one nearby are mixed up. Your map is widely used by auto navigators, and this mistake is the cause of numerous mistakes of couriers, post services, etc. It's too difficult to me to become a user and fix this error myself, so my neighbors I would be very grateful if an experienced user helped us. The addresses are: Russia, Moscow, Bolotnikovskaya st., house 44 building 3 and house 44 building 4. Thank you.

Go to www.openstreetmap.org and zoom in on your neighbourhood. Then use the note icon button on the right to place a "note", where you can write a few words that describe the mistake (e.g. "this house has address X" or so).

This will not automatically fix the map but allow mappers to see clearly what is wrong and fix it manually.
