These are good questions - while I don't have an answer, I'll make the observation that admin boundaries falling on streets makes correcting Tiger data difficult. There are several areas that derive from the same data, and the admin boundary falls exactly on a way of a road - including all nodes. I'm not sure if Potlatch's handy '/' shortcut can select the bottom way or the bottom node, but this is often necessary to 'grab the way' to correct or select it. I couldn't find any easy way to select or grab the bottom way in JOSM other than to select the bottom node and drag. My take is that I don't know where the admin boundary actually is, so I'm careful not to disturb any boundary data. On the other hand, when the boundary colors match the Yahoo aerials, I may have accidentally drawn a way that connects to an admin boundary (node placement logically selects ways in close proximity). _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
