Cool, more Oregon mappers! :) > Should I simply delete these or just change their tags so they > don't render as roads? If the latter, how should they be tagged? If you've been there and can confirm that there's nothing there, or they're bad enough that you can't figure out what they correspond to, delete them. But, I personally don't want people deleting everything that doesn't appear on aerial imagery. > OTOH, there are new roads that aren't in the currently imported > version of the TIGER data. These I can clearly GPS and map. Excellent.

I'm not sure we'll ever import a full TIGER set again. We'll certainly do everything we can to not overwrite any work that people are doing now, especially with roads that people deleted in their entirety. -- Dave _______________________________________________ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
