Perhaps I'm missing something here, but if TIGER potential addresses are added by Karlsruhe Schema, shouldn't people actually update the potential addresses with actual addresses? Mere mortals can do that quickly. They can even reposition over the approximate house line if the houses are visible from a Aerial photo. And us nerds with GPS's, aerial imagery, and editor tools will replace them with house number nodes in the exact position. To address comments made by others - having something present prompts me to update and doesn't remove motivation. I'm the exact opposite of the "TIGER kills crowdsourcing" point of view; I probably wouldn't have even gotten interested if there were no TIGER roads present. _______________________________________________ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
