POIchecker is an interactive webbased import-tool to manually match and deduplicate geo datasets between external sources and the OpenStreetMap.

============
The development of this project has been stopped.
============

With more than 1 million contributors the OpenStreetMap is the largest free and open database for geo-spatial information. Importing new data into the OpenStreetMap most likely creates duplicate data entries. To avoid this undesired effect POIchecker provides a web interface to match and merge every entry manually.

As a first step the Nomitim Search engine is queried for potential candidates that make for a duplicate entry. Then comparison view with a small map provides a good source for humas to decide wether this POI is already in the OpenStreetMap or not.
