I wasn't saying you should import it. You were disputing about which dataset was more accurate. The County GIS is usually the best. You could compare the 2 in dispute, and use the county data to settle the argument. Many TIGER Lines are better now but in the past have been greatly scorned for

Cook County GIS most likely has the most authoritative dataset. You can download it here: https://hub-cookcountyil.opendata.arcgis.com/datasets/534226c6b1034985aca1e14a2eb234af_2?geometry=-88.214%2C42.072%2C-87.560%2C42.161 On 8/18/2020 8:51 PM, Mike Thompson wrote: On Tue, Aug 18, 2020 at

With large relations, if all the members are not yet downloaded in your browser, you will see "ghost lines" that will change every time a new section is downloaded. On 5/14/2020 11:14 PM, 80hnhtv4agou--- via talk wrote: i see ghosts lines in the ID editor, that keep on moving when i try to

If you are referring to making the manner that lines are rendered while editing in iD to switch between thin & thick lines, The W key toggles this. The W being short for "Wireframe view" On 4/12/2020 2:18 PM, 80hnhtv4agou--- via talk wrote: how do you get the map to show as a fiber optic

Based on the wikipedia articles https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pan-American_Highway https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CanAm_Highway It sounds to me like these would be names of route relations, not names of ways. In my area, sections of I-95 can have different names like "Blue Star Memorial Highway"

An area is just a way, where the endpoint connects to the starting point. In the iD editor, if you select a way and look closely, you should see that the middle of each line segment has a small triangle that indicates the direction of the way. Since the right side of the way is the low side,

There seems to be a misunderstanding of the definition of "Derived". In order for something to be considered derived it needs to contain some elements from which it was derived. The end product described by facebook contains no OSM data, therefore it is literally the opposite of a derived
