I'm not sure unmapped (on google/OSM) cities are rare at all. My daughter was born in a town in Ethiopia and it's not on any map that I've been able to find while it is listed (without lat/lng sadly) in wikipedia.
- corin_ 13y agoIf there was only one unmapped city it would be considered rare yet there would still be thousands and thousands of people who could share your anecdote. Adding yours to this thread (albeit without any information about it) brings the number to 2 - for all I know there could be hundreds of them, but there could also only be those 2.
- 7952 13y agoFor much of the world no-one has ever done large scale mapping. The Soviet Union and USA produced military mapping and gazetteers for targeting, but it often lacks good on-the-ground knowledge. In rural areas it can be difficult to even get a consistent place name from people who navigate from memory.
- maxerickson 13y agoSomeone in the linked comments talks about adding multiple other cities near this one.
- hnha 13y agoif you can, please add it to osm and add the latlong to Wikipedia!
