Re: [Talk-us] Best practices for dealing with old TIGER tags?

OK, 'residential' if it looks like 'subdivision', 'unclassified' otherwise (as long as it's drivable in, say, my daughter's car rather than my 4-wheeler). Got it. I suspect that 'residential'/'unclassified' right now is almost a difference without a distinction. I suppose that 'residential' might

Hi Kevin, I'll try to add some context. Here's a neat use for the new OSM Analytics tool developed by HOT: http://osm-analytics.org/#/compare/polygon:~lwbS}lpoFipQYwJawGbnQxD/2008...now/highways If you don't see 'blue' roads, zoom in until you do and then swipe left/right - you can see the

Re: [Talk-us] Best practices for dealing with old TIGER tags?

Can someone review for me the 'rural residential' problem? I haven't done a lot of editing away of TIGER tags, although I've wanted to - a lot of the areas where I've been mapping have had virtually no TIGER review whatsoever and the garish overlays in JOSM are annoying. Some of the areas I work

[Talk-us] Western TIGER Roads

​I've tried to fix TIGER roads near Show Low AZ http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=14/34.3565/-109.7752 where my daughter has a cabin. I could not reach her cabin in my high clearance van so I called it a highway=track. The best roads appear smudgy black because they've been covered with

Re: [Talk-us] Best practices for dealing with old TIGER tags?

JOSM does automatically discard some TIGER:* tags. There's a list of keys in the tags.discardable JOSM preference item. Among the list of tags that JOSM automatically deletes are: tiger:source tiger:separated tiger:tlid tiger:upload_uuid These tags are hidden from the editor so you don't

Re: [Talk-us] Best practices for dealing with old TIGER tags?

Yes, ok – so ‘aging myself’ a bit – but I did all my locale TIGER cleanup with P2, so my practice was to review/almost always fix geometry, then look at ‘function’/classification of the roadway, then just delete the reviewed tag and automagically those uid tags and such would go away. So it

Oops, sorry Adam, replied directly to you versus the list; here’s the message: My thoughts: Unless something changed, I think both Potlatch and JOSM will remove the ‘junk’ tags from TIGER if you delete the reviewed=no. Maybe this is not the case with iD? As far as classification;

Minor suggestion for this MapRoulette challenge:  Could you structure it by state (or other geographic region, county?) and do each region sequentially.  I, personally, think it would be neat to see areas get "done" as far as Tiger clean up.   Either way, thanks for these. James On Fri,

Well said. I have space in my basement also. I am eager to launch a MapRoulette challenge for untouched rural ‘residential’ roads - a challenge which will probably take some time to complete. If someone can furnish a good Overpass query for this, please go ahead and do it. Martijn > On Jun
