He said that points from the raw data are only culled (removed) and none are edited (moved). I can't imagine that a GPS track of any reasonable size would not have points which need to be cleaned up. If you don't, you will have inaccurate data. Heck, I already have access to inaccurate data, Tiger, the maps that came with my GPS, etc. Yet another database of poor data helps no one. _______________________________________________ newbies mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/newbies
