Thanks for your suggestions ToniE and Minh. Will try this out and post my findings soon :)

Superb work Naveen. Now you have a map to show in your article :)

@Glassman all the data they uploaded is through JOSM version 1.5. First they collected the data through field survey. They classified the collected data into different categories such as parks, ATMs, Hotels etc., and uploaded each category in one go.

Hello Xapitoun, I’m also facing the same problem. They just wanted to contribute the data, but never thought of the visual rendering problems. I’m trying to figure out an easy way to change them to lowercase alphabets as changing one by one is hard (there are 480 points to be fixed). If you know any way to fix them directly, please let me know.

Hello Ganesh Dhamodkar,

Can you try again after updating the JOSM version. It’s perfectly working for me. Also don’t forget to select the Approved layers in select layers section. It will by default create a layer with the name “geonames.nga.mil: Approved_(N)” and will only be activated once we load the bing imagery as background.

Good to know the stuff @Yog… Thanks for sharing information.

Thanks for you comments and guidance @Govanus & @malenki. They are really helpful, and gave me new ideas to formulate the mapping work.

@all thanks for your suggestions and encouragement. Will follow your ideas and try to improve the map ASAP.
