Provided you like somewhere that has all of the streets names, yes. If you live somewhere that has large swathes of unnamed (or completely unmapped) streets, then it certainly makes a difference. I could go drive somewhere to get that street name, but then find out it doesn't have one. Next week, someone else who lives nearby can go drive there to check the street name, and find there isn't one. If we can record the fact it hasn't got one, we could all spend more time doing areas that aren't mapped properly, rather than re-checking the same places again. _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
