No, it didn't. I didn't start mapping until TIGER was imported. Why? Because I knew that a lot of the work had already been done. Why should I waste my time, as you folks in the UK have **been forced** to waste your time reinventing an existing map? We have a public domain map which we could start with. Don't try to cast your impediment as an advantage. It wasn't, and our advantage (sensible government policy) isn't an impediment. -- --my blog is at http://blog.russnelson.com Crynwr supports open source software 521 Pleasant Valley Rd. | +1 315-323-1241 Potsdam, NY 13676-3213 | Sheepdog _______________________________________________ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
