I would like to report a problem...
I just downloaded Galileo Offline Maps to my iPad. I then checked the area where I live to check what was included, etc. I found an error immediately. I live in the mountains of North Carolina, just north of the town of Boone. To get to my house at 165 Pace-Clark Rd. from Boone, I go north from US 421 on NC 194 (OK). Then I turn left on Howard's Creek Rd. (OK). Then I turn right on Grady Winkler Rd. (NOT OK). The map shows "Howards Rd.", which doesn't exist at all, instead of Grady Winkler. Please correct. Finally, I turn off Grady Winkler onto Pace-Clark Rd., which is on the map. It's the connecting road, Grady Winkler, which should replace the nonexistent "Howards Rd."

How can an error (e.g., street name) be corrected?

I found an error in the name of a street I use regularly. How can it be corrected?

OpenStreetMap is a free editable map of the whole world. It is made by people like you.
It allows you to view, edit and use geographical data in a collaborative way from anywhere on Earth.
So you can report any discovered error yourself at http://openstreetbugs.schokokeks.org

Just leave a short message on the map if something is missing or obviously wrong, like "oneway in wrong direction" or "bridge or level_crossing?".

Hi Ann,
with your discription I corrected the name from "Howards Rd" to "Grady Winkler Rd". Hope it is ok.
@Yulia
Using the iPad it is not possible, to use schokokeks and also using podlatch on the iPad is noct possible (no flash allowed on iPad)
