Some counties of NY had or have that awful alignment of which Richard speaks. Putnam, Ontario, and Warren Counties come to mind. I've spent a ridiculous amount of time aligning these roads. I remove the tiger:reviewed=no tag only when I've been somewhere and seen that the sign matches the name= tag (or one of them, anyway). I use my Columbus / Visiontac V-900 GPS logger with audio notes to make a note of the road name as I pass it, or any other notes that I think need mapping, e.g. road surface, stop signs, traffic lights, etc. -- --my blog is at http://blog.russnelson.com Crynwr supports open source software 521 Pleasant Valley Rd. | +1 315-600-8815 Potsdam, NY 13676-3213 | Sheepdog _______________________________________________ Talk-us mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
