Did you download it from somewhere?
Yes, I meant scripts that generated the OSM files. I converted my county's data (which has more attributes and is more recent than TIGER, but feeds into it) to OSM files, which I documented here (not mentioned is the "glomming" I did to join segments with identical attributes, or the simplifying I did): http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Fairfax_County,_Virginia/Roads and have been using it with the manual conflation process I described here: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Manual_conflation It does take quite some practice to do correctly and efficiently. -Josh _______________________________________________ Talk-us mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
