Not in the cases I'm talking about, I've verified them against the actual state government source that I would assume the ABS is sourcing theirs from, and they do not follow. Several of the points I pointed out in my email show that it CANT be read-only because it's just plain WRONG in some places. In fact over the 19 or so suburbs that Franc sent me I can testify to 6 of them being accurate against my already researched and verified against many sources data, and that's without being picky about where exactly they lay against roads, if I include that condition also we drop to 2 *accurate* suburb. Editing of the data will be unavoidable. -- =b _______________________________________________ Talk-au mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
