[closed] Maps.me - some issues with wrong tagging again. Now: tourism=apartment

Just a note: Many Maps.me users seem to map any housing area/gated community with tourism=apartment. Here is an example in Kuala Lumpur.

okay, thanks, but, do you have any question or is it really "just a note"?

Just a note. I guess I should start to get into those mailing lists...

Well, "how to fix this" (as Hjart interpret it) is quite a question. :-)

If you rather like web-based forums, use the forum (see contact channels).

One Answer:

An explanation may be in the way tourism=apartment is translated in Maps.me. Please check https://github.com/mapsme/omim/wiki/categories.txt

I have personally fixed similar issues by correcting the danish translations.
