Thanks, Max. The script was just what I needed. I wrapped a little bit of Tcl code around it so that it would command JOSM to load the ways, one at a time, and was able to blitz through about three hundred of them last night. I'm afraid that I didn't remember to hit 'Upload' often enough, so some of the change sets are not as well clustered geographically as they ought to be. (Sorry about that, everyone!) The clustering of the ways goes back to the TIGER import, which, if I recall correctly, was done by census tract. It looked in the aerials as if the roads that needed to remain nameless were all service ways, and I tagged them accordingly. There were also some motorway_link and similar things. I left tiger:reviewed=no on most of them, because even though I usually verified existence on aerials, I did NOT attempt to verify any other attributes beside the name. I left a note or two on the ways where the 'name' in OSM already matched TIGER 2017 and I had no third source to check. _______________________________________________ Talk-us mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
