Serious question: why would anyone want to do this? (putting aside the fact that foursquare is probably not for streets) Does the TLID have any significance outside TIGER? > > I'm not asking anyone to go adding these tags, but just saying that > they don't hurt, even if they're just a hint (a bridge that contains > twenty TLIDs and perhaps only one of them is the right one). What about a bridge that contains forty TLIDs and none is the right one because the right one was the fiftieth and that many TLIDs wouldn't fit in the maximum field size (255 characters, I believe)? The way I see it is that if I were mapping an area from scratch, nobody would go adding the TIGER tags. So if I completely redo an area, whether I use existing ways or draw new ways, there's no reason to keep the TIGER tags. If anyone objects, I can change my workflow to delete the old ways and create new ways rather than redrawing the old ways :) _______________________________________________ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
