Embassy of Ukraine requested OpenStreetMap to correct the status of Crimea
- Sylos 8y agoFor context, this is the OSM decision that they're offended by: https://wiki.osmfoundation.org/wiki/Working_Group_Minutes/DWG_2018-11-14_Crimea https://wiki.osmfoundation.org/wiki/Working_Group_Minutes/DW... TL;DR: OSM has marked Crimea as Russian territory with the reasoning that on the ground Russia has control over Crimea.
- rmc 8y agoOSM has used an "On the ground rule" for a long time. For names and for country borders.
