Alexander, I'd recommend you use this data for testing the process only, but not uploading, as it has not been processed thoroughly yet. I personally believe, and I think consensus is growing, that none of the tiger:* tags should be imported (I delete all of them after working on a way). Ref tags should be populated with the route number, such as "SR 20", and oneway tags seem to be missing from dual carriageways. Also, the segments need to be "glommed", that is joining multiple ways with the same tags into one way, to make future editing easier. In other words, please be careful, it is not a simple process. The only thing I would add is that you should only do a very small section, such as a new subdivision, then come back to this list and let us know the changeset ID/link so we can take a look at it. -Josh _______________________________________________ Talk-us mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
