Dave - Thanks! A couple of small problems so far: - The tarball doesn't include "daveperl.pm"; I found it elsewhere on your site. - Latitude and longitude seem to be reversed in the output, at least when I use the data for Webb County, Texas (FIPS 48479) as the input. This *really* confuses JOSM (e.g. it hangs). I fixed this problem using: sed -e 's/lat=/xxx=/g' -e 's/lon=/lat=/g' -e 's/xxx=/lon=/' < TX-webb.osm >| TX-webb-fixed.osm As the accuracy improvement project hasn't affected this area yet, the shapefiles aren't any improvement over the existing data (and are worse than the manual edits a few of us have made), but hopefully the effort will be worthwhile elsewhere!
