My café is wrongly geolocated in Instagram – is that a problem with OpenStreetMap?

0

When i go to that link https://www.instagram.com/explore/locations/413451482448130/bunker-specialtycoffee/ and click on the stories above content, i got to another account geolocation like this one (on the screen)http://prntscr.com/reog7f But my cafe name is "Bunker SpecialtyCoffee" http://prntscr.com/reoh4d Is that a problem with OpenStreetMap? Because every time it's changing to other account with different geolocations.

Your café seems to be correctly present in OpenStreetMap here: https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/4526820136. So it looks correct in OSM. You might wish to extend the entry if the official name is really Bunker SpecialtyCoffee and not just Bunker (what’s on the sign outside?). You could also add opening hours and a phone number.

To me it sounds like a problem with Instagram. I have no idea how creating or claiming locations with Instagram/Facebook work. Maybe someone else claimed the name for themselves?
