Excellent to see this happening - we went on holiday to Northern Cyprus earlier this year and gathered a Geko-full of tracklogs covering most of the major roads, as well as a load of stuff round Kyrenia. --Richard 09:40, 4 Jul 2006 (UTC)

Cyprus has evolved a lot. It would really help to have a couple roads wide zone near the main road through villages mapped. Oneway streets are essential as well. Even the locals have hard time finding through an unknown village, tourists even more. --Muffu 19:09, 20 April 2010 (UTC)

Island Country => Country

I've revised the 'type' parameter in the Place template from 'Island Country' to 'Country' to facilitate categorization along with like pages. --Ceyockey 14:51, 18 December 2010 (UTC)

Thanks!

I wanted to send this to your mailing list, but I couldn't find the address.

Thank you for your work on Cyprus! I spend 5 days driving a rental car all through the Island using osmand as GPS and the only problem I encountered were some missing turning restrictions in Nicosia. The rest (motorways, mountain roads, parking, one way roads, POIs etc.) were all there!

For Cyprus, I believe that osm is ready for prime time and it is all thanks to you.--Strainu (talk) 18:39, 10 March 2015 (UTC)

Usage of name=*, name:en=* and name:el=*

While mapping in Cyprus using aerial imagery I found several objects that seemed to be nameless on the normal osm map. Looking at the tags I found that name:en=* and name:el=* were set correctly but name=* was missing. Unfortunately I could not find any solution/best practice while reading through Names whether it is a good practice to leave the name=* completely empty or if I should copy the greek name from name:el=* to name=*. Thus dear mappers of Cyprus, what is your local best practice to this? Should name=* be empty? --Oisín (talk) 17:57, 23 March 2022 (UTC)
