When it's a single road or far out of the way of where you're mapping, would be my suggestion. It's probably fine to go a few blocks out of the way to check out one unnamed road, and probably fine to go few mile or two out of the way to check a whole neighborhood of unnamed roads. I for one will not be going 100 miles out of the way to check an unnamed road (or indeed to map at all). It's a judgment call, so your mileage may vary. No pun intended. > This is one of those cases where we have actually identified a problem > and are figuring out how to fix it, rather than just inventing crap > for the sake of it. Good! Karl suggested using the "reviewed" tag, and I agree with that. Mark all unnamed roads in the area you're mapping with "reviewed=no", and then once you've reviewed them, delete the tag. I just don't see a need to mark out that the name specifically has been reviewed. -Alex Mauer "hawke"
