Re: [Talk-us] Google maps source
Brian, If good quality TIGER data exists for this area and can validate the changes then I suggest it's OK to change the source to TIGER, otherwise it seems prudent to backout all the changesets tagged as sourced from Google Maps. The one-way flows can sometimes be inferred from pavement markings and Bing aerials.

Re: [Talk-us] Google maps source
Brian, I have done that before. If the road geometry is incorrect in OpenStreetMap due to inaccuracies with the source TIGER Files and it is either incorrect or non-existent on Bing, but correct on Google Maps, and we use bing imagery for tracing the road geometry, but Google Maps to discover the name of the road is it incorrect to use source=google? You are not tracing a road geometry from Google Maps, but you might be using it for other attribute data. Seems like the tagging should be either source=bing or source=google or both.
