I looked at this data when I uploaded the state borders a while ago. The state borders I (and Adam) split by hand into non-overlapping sections, tagging them with left:state and right:state appropriately. I figured it would be too much work to do the county borders manually like that, but I didn't feel like trying to write a program to do it in an automated fashion either. I'm not really excited for having lots of overlapping borders like that, but I guess I can manually clean up the ones in my area if I care enough. -Ted _______________________________________________ Talk-us mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/talk-us
