<dd>I am working on the potentials of importing GNS data [1] for less

leaving it there?<br><br>

We recently did an import of GNS data for all of Norway. The quality of
this dataset was so terrible that we had to remove it. Please do not
import any data for Norway!<br><br>
Svalbard is an extremely remote area, making even the Australian Northern
Territory look urban. If you have imported all of the Svalbard names, you
have something like 4 place names per person living there. I would even
say that this is one of the better mapped areas in Norway. Even if I like
havng names on the map, I would say that we now have 12.000 names which
we do not have any chance of checking, and with unknown
quality.</blockquote><br>
Gustav, thank you for your kind feedback. All gone now except
island names. May I ask about your experiences with quality?
Was the problem just positional accuracy or did you find substantial
errors in the names themselves?<br><br>
