Hi installed OSM via the guide you prove and I am using the British Isles pack from geofabrick.

I have an issue where duplicate town names appear on different levels of zoom, please seem below for an example. Anyone seen this before?

Can you explain which "guide" and which "British Isles pack"?

(24 Jun '16, 14:22) SomeoneElse ♦

The word "pack" does not appear on http://download.geofabrik.de/europe.html . Do you mean you downloaded http://download.geofabrik.de/europe/british-isles-latest.osm.pbf ?

What "osm2pgsql" command did you use and what were the last 5 or so lines of output?

(24 Jun '16, 14:59) SomeoneElse ♦

Yes that's correct, the following command was used.

osm2pgsql --slim -d gis -C 10000 --number-processes 3 /usr/local/share/maps/planet/british-isles-latest.osm.pbf

Thanks

Since you were loading "british-isles-latest.osm.pbf" not "planet-latest.osm.pbf" at least the last part of the command would have been different.

What were the last 5 or so lines of output?

(24 Jun '16, 15:11) SomeoneElse ♦

I don't have a copy of the last 5 or so line of output, unless osm2pgsql has a history option?

(24 Jun '16, 15:35) Mike1704

I was just trying to figure out whether it had actually completed successfully.

Ah okay, wondering if it's worth trying to use a different style sheet? That could be the issue.

(24 Jun '16, 16:16) Mike1704

You're right - the stylesheet seems to be rendering everything with a name. I've put this in a separate answer to try and avoid confusion.

It's a stylesheet problem. I've loaded the data I've got here into OSMBright and I'm seeing extra Warringtons too. I'm guessing one might be the NaPTAN pay scale area. There are 5 names in that area - this query shows them.

From a search on the main osm site, there appear to be a few Warringtons that may appear at different zoom levels in the area:
Relation: Warrington (147278)
Node: Warrington (17409843)
Railway Station Node: Warrington (3123294008)
and two Results from GeoNames
Warrington , United Kingdom
Warrington , United Kingdom.
[edit] ... but the main osm site shows one Warrington, so not normal to show several.

This is an issue for other areas also, are you saying this is normal?

Thanks

(24 Jun '16, 14:41) Mike1704

It's not normal. "british-isles-latest.osm.pbf" will have the Relation, Node and Railway Station in it - it's the same data that's used to create the "standard" stle on OpenStreetMap.Org, where only one Warrington appears, as per:

https://a.tile.openstreetmap.org/12/2018/1326.png

The "osmbright" stylesheet is different, and will cause a different rendering, but I can't explain the extra Warringtons.
