I *wish* it was a 1-shot deal. That darn Steve C. seems to think that maps should be both accurate *and* up to date. The nerve! Anyway, it seems that the new data is substantially better than the old in some places. What I'd like to do is twofold: 1. regenerate .osm files for all the new TIGER data 2. Compare new .osm files to old TIGER data plus stuff edited in OSM Then, decide how if/when it is appropriate to write over the old TIGER stuff with new. Or, to merge it somehow. -- Dave _______________________________________________ Talk-us mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
