Hello,
Andy from OSM’s Data Working Group here. Someone has mentioned to us that Strava activities completed in this area are recorded as being in “Snowdonia National Park, Wales” . They believe that, following the recent renaming (see here), in English it should be something like “Eyri National Park”. See e.g. the park’s English website. OSM is I believe correct with it’s name, name:en and alt_name:en tags.
Strava’s maps come via Mapbox, but it’s unclear from the screenshots of Strava’s UI that I’ve seen whether the icorrect name is:
- An area defined in Strava itself
- An area imported via Mapbox, and Mapbox is perhaps using very old OSM data
- Something user-defined created by a (different) Strava user
The DWG’s correspondent did of course try raising the issue with Strava’s support people, but despite a quite detailed explanation from the person pointing out the error, communication with the Strava person did not occur; they only replied “I recommend reaching out to [OpenStreetMap] directly, https://www.openstreetmap.org/help”.
If anyone has any contacts within Strava that might be able to respond in a slightly more helpful manner please email data@openstreetmap.org with a subject line of “[Ticket#2023080910000121] Strava and osm mismatch of place names”.
Best Regards,
Andy
