If you could give me an example, I'll look into it.

I ran into issues like this with a strange streets (described here https://adamlynch.com/back-of-your-hand/#the-lioscarrig-driv...), so I consider any two streets with the same name in the OpenStreetMap data to be the same street. I.e. if you put a marker down near any of them, you get points.

However, if the section of road has a different name, then it's different.



I think the OSM data is bad. Lots of street highlights dont match the correct names.

Thanks for the response.

I can look at what you are using from overpass later and see what is up with their data.


Great yeah, I was going to suggest we could contribute fixes back to OSM if that was the issue :)
