What about actually doing the entry while you are in the car? My first job after college was to map every house in a county. (Wayne County, Indiana for those that are curious) The set-up was to use GPS with a computer and to map the addresses as you went. We were already starting with the county's master address list, but I don't see how this would be different.
The only entire suburban neighborhood I mapped was my own. Can't say it was that much fun, but I'd just get another string of addresses everyday on the way to work and enter them that night. I didn't end up with that much data at any one time, but it did take a long time to complete. -Kate On Fri, Mar 16, 2012 at 3:10 PM, Rich <ric...@nakts.net> wrote: > On 03/16/12 01:10, Nathan Edgars II wrote: >> >> On 3/15/2012 6:43 PM, Nathan Mills wrote: >>> >>> On 3/15/2012 4:59 PM, Nathan Edgars II wrote: >>>> >>>> lots of driving and all you get is street names, since everything else >>>> is single-family houses. >>> >>> >>> And address points >> >> >> How does this work?
