Welcome to OSM! Regarding addresses, you are correct. The TIGER address data was not brought into the map. The TIGER address data would only bring you to the nearest block anyway. But the larger problem is that so many roads have been corrected that the TIGER address lines would not match the data. So the current thinking is to create the address data by other means: physical surveys or importing addresses from municipalities for the few cases where they release data under terms compatible with OSM.
> Is there a good way to see just the history of my area? The "History" tab shows all changes which contain your area. That is not useful to you - there is a project underway to limit the history tab to the relevant area, but I'm not sure when it will be rolled out. In the mean time , the site http://www.itoworld.com has an excellent tool to see who changed the map in your area of interest. It appears that the only edits in your area have been to the interstates and perhaps some state highways. So any local knowledge you can add will be valuable: Add one-way tags, fix roads which are not correct, new construction, adding Speed Limit (maxspeed) tags, etc. _______________________________________________ newbies mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/newbies
