3 years ago RAVE team found out several cities(Karawang, Karangligar, Mekarmulya) with building duplicates problem and going to delete them this week. We are going to use JOSM to reduce this problem, changesets could be reverted or duplicates will be removed separately.
There’s a link to the problem area.
