Hello, I am new to the help forum and fairly new to OSM. I have a question regarding what appears to be inaccurate information and how to change it. While trying to search for an address on openstreetmap.org, I discovered that some of the information is incorrect. The area in question can either be referred to Santa Maria, CA or Orcutt, CA. Here’s an example: Actual Address: 501 Ferndale Drive, Santa Maria, CA 93455 Alternate Address: 501 Ferndale Drive, Orcutt, CA 93455 SEARCHES: SEARCH: 501 Ferndale Drive, Santa Maria, CA 93455 RESULT: No results found SEARCH: 501 Ferndale Drive, Orcutt, CA 93455 RESULT: No results found SEARCH: 501 Ferndale Drive, Santa Maria RESULT: No results found Search: 501 Ferndale Drive, Orcutt RESULT: No results found SEARCH: 501 Ferndale Drive, 93455 RESULT: Ferndale Drive, Del Cielo Mobile Estates, Santa Barbara County, California, 93455, United States of America With the results, it shows that 501 Ferndale Drive is located in Del Cielo Mobile Estates; this is not correct. There is a mobile home park near Ferndale Drive call Del Cielo Mobile Estates but it is a separate sub-development and is still a part of Santa Maria, CA or Orcutt, CA ALL streets in this area yield the same result. If someone is searching through openstreetmap.org for a house in the area that Ferndale Drive is located, they will not be able to find it unless they know the postal code because the city is not associated with any of the streets in the area. I believe this is due to the import of tiger data that may be outdated or inaccurate. Can someone please help me correct this problem? I don’t want to delete the entire area and start from the beginning as much work has already been done in the area. Thanks for your time. DS
