I tried three locations, all in California (in Scotts Valley, and in Sacramento). All were at least 200 meters off. One of the cases was a fairly short street, and the TIGER data put the address at nearly the wrong end entirely. I'm highly in favor of doing the import, regardless. I think the inaccuracies will be far easier to fix than to put the addressing in from scratch. I've done a lot of mapping in my area, but haven't been willing to start doing addresses, even before I knew that the TIGER import was coming down the line. I would be willing to search out and fix errors though, since all it will take is changing a few nodes. - Dan
