See this wiki page for general TIGER fixup things - http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/TIGER_fixup There's nothing wrong with trashing the existing tiger data, as long as you replace it with more accurate data, of course :) Further questions regarding TIGER data itself should probably be directed to talk-us who have more experience with this stuff. > > -- > Stephen L Johnson <[email protected]> > > > _______________________________________________ > newbies mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/newbies > -- Regards, Thomas Wood (Edgemaster) _______________________________________________ newbies mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/newbies
