How I can remove the identical and duplicated names of gas station in Russia, in Papyrus?

Hi,

Can you please give me an example?
Where do you see identical and duplicated gas stations?


Thanks,

Ori

Somebody, wiki editors, change The Wiki please. http://tinyurl.com/addWazegas I have not experience in that, I'm just map editor :(

Thanks Artuuras,

We updated the wiki.

Hi,

Just like WeeeZer14 wrote, the best types of segment to use in this matter are parking lot or private road.
These types are basically avoided - so it will reduce the chance of unnecessary detours.

We will update the wiki page soon.

Thanks!

Should I add entry and exit points to the gas station from the main road(s)? If so, is it private road or parking lot road? Thanks! :)

If it's far away from the nearest road, and navigating in or out might be confusing, then yes, with some parking lot roads. Otherwise, why?
Reason why I do it, people find entry points, and some station exits don't allow certain turns, so it's helpful to users. If it's in a rural area, I don't bother though for obvious reasons.

I manually added a petrol station that wasn't there yesterday. This surprised me because I thought someone (or something) had automatically added all UK petrol stations.

But today purely by chance I happened to be looking (at high zoom) in a field some way away, and found the (very tiny) automatically-added petrol station on top of a tree.

So, it had been automatically added, but in the wrong place, and very small. So I deleted it - no harm done.

I'm getting to the point. There's a UR for a duplicate petrol station that's been puzzling me for a couple of days. This is for a petrol station I added manually ages ago. So, now I'm guessing that the automatic thingy has also added this petrol station, but that it is very tiny, and in the middle of a field somewhere. How on earth do I find it so I can delete it and close the UR? I've looked and looked.

Sure. I didn't post it before because I thought this might be a FAQ.

OK thanks for that. I guessed it had probably already been deleted.

Well the point of my other example was that the automatically imported one was in the middle of a field some distance away, and not in the right place at all.
