I wasn't aware there were issues there. Anything in particular we can focus on?

Hi mcevil,

I've had a look at the area - you were right. The majority of the town was incorrectly labelled as Arnot as opposed to Rietkuil. This has been fixed and should be live in the next tile update. From what I can see there is a portion that is actually Arnot (South of 1st St) - is this correct?

Do you know whether the number of the streets are numerical or phonetic? I.e. "1st St" vs "First St". I'm thinking they should be numerical.

Hi guys
I'm taking a look at this. All the map resources show that the town name seems to be Rietkuil, with some of them showing an area as Arnot. The Arnot Power Station is there as well. What city name should it be?

I completely missed this post. Seems like Rod was/is correct.

Nor was I. I had a quick look last night and didn't see a single report.

This morning I've had a look at the surrounds, I found and fixed an overlapping segment of the R542, which would have caused weird instructions heading west along the R542 and wanting to turn right onto the Boschmanskraal Rd.

Arnot needs a bit of work, but there are no Streetview images, so needs local knowledge to verify street names.

Hi, the village is Rietkuil with Arnot Power station being the center point. Simialr to Pullenshope with Hendrina Poiwer Station being its center point. Komati is about the only one around this area that I know of that is named the same as the Power station.
