====== How to correct or modify data of a POI? ======

Kurviger currently provides two types of POIs. Most POIs like fuel stations, motorcycle shops, etc. are based on data from OpenStreetMap (OSM), for more information about OSM, also take a look here: [[web:faq:incorrect_routes|]]. The great thing about OSM is that it's open data and that everyone can edit the data. 

Some POIs like hotels are a special type of POI, these are selected by us and our partners to provide motorcycle specific content to Kurviger. If you find something here, please contact us.

===== Example: How to add a name to a POI if the name is missing =====

Unfortunately, there are some POIs that don't have a name. If you know the name of a POI, you can easily add the name.

If you don't have an account on OSM yet, you need to sign up for an account. You can also use third party providers, like you Google account to sign up. After you have signed up, enter the name in the editor and click ''Save''.

===== How long does it take until I can see my changes? =====

On the OSM website, changes should be shown immediatly. In Kurviger it can take up to two weeks until changes are shown (usually it's a couple of days).
