I'm curious how the cities in the turn by turn itinerary appear. Let's use this one here!

https://cycle.travel/map/journey/1013051

We see that Les Cèdres appears twice, and then it shows us Montreal even though we enter Vaudreuil... but not really, since we crossed the municipal border into Vaudreuil a few km earlier. The turn by turn shows us we're in Montreal until we kind of enter L'Assomption, skipping the mention of many other cities on the way.

I know the data comes from OSM, but is there any way one can correct that in OSM so that the cities can show properly?

Thank you!

The city data actually comes from government sources rather than OSM – in the case of Canada it’s boundary files from Statistics Canada. As such it’s not really something that’s editable, I’m afraid!

Got it! Thank you for the explanation. I guess I'll have to knock on Statistics Canada's door. Easier said than done!
