Description

I am using the Rapid editor to edit OpenStreetMap. The editor uses data from the Overture Maps buildings dataset. I am trying to add large areas of missing buildings in Kochi, Japan to OSM. However, almost all the buildings in the Overture Maps dataset in this area have incorrect geometry and position, making the data unusable.

Compare the displayed geometries and positions with the source data; the issue is complete when the cause of the incorrect identification and geometry is established and the affected building data is corrected.
