Getpin Company is engaged in the centralized placement and synchronization of data received from clients of business owners on Facebook, Google My Business, Google Maps, etc.

We plan to synchronize as follows:

  1. Adding data to business owners in our service;
  2. Manual and automatic verification of data by company employees. For example, checking for errors in the contact, the presence of all the necessary data;
  3. Automatic comparison of business categories with categories provided by business owners. If no match is found, then issue the OSM category manually;
  4. Check for the presence of an existing point in the area of ​​coordinates, which are obtained from Google Maps. For verification, we take points near the coordinates of Google Maps, using Overpass. Next, look for a match by name, category tags such as name, phone, website. If a similar point is found or point placed on the road, then we do not create a new one;
  5. Creating points based on the processed data in the previous paragraphs with timeout in 10 seconds to don't overload the OSM server*;
  6. Manual checking point that has been created by company employees. If something wrong, an employee must fix founded error.

*First time we will import points in small portions(about 10-15 node per day) to prevent potential damage and quickly correct possible errors in imported points.
