Hi, I am new to OSM editing. I am adding hamlets that are missing in my locality. Do I need to join the marker for the place name physically to the line for the road for it to be found on a satnav, or is just adjacent to it ok? I hope you can understand what I mean. Thanks in advance. |

Hi. Please don't join place nodes to ways. I usually try to put then at the center of the place, in some kind of common ground. Regards. 2
Just to add to this, any half-decent satnav or other router will happily navigate to the nearest road (or path or whatever) to the thing that it is trying to get to. I normally add a place node where the "centre of the place is". That might be the town square, or it might be somewhere else.

OK, thank you very much, I suspected as much, but just wanted it confirmed before I started off on the wrong foot!

Please mark the answer as "accepted" (little check mark below the thumbs up and down) if it suits you.
