With points of interest being hit or miss in areas I was wondering if anyone knew of places that contributed to openstreet maps as matter of public policy. Any examples?

That's what I mean! In the US the postal address of places are public data from what I understand, but I haven't seen a lot of those addresses in Organic Maps. Same with registered businesses. Do you know who in your area takes that data and uploads it openstreet maps?

It looks like there is some information on the project here.

Hopefully something there helps you contact someone?
