Pretty sure the source our state borders were imported from was off by more than 150 feet in most places anyway... Maybe it's better in urban areas I guess.

[Talk-us] South Carolina & North Carolina border shifting to the South
I just saw this mentioned on MSNBC and thought I would let everybody know about this since we would have to adjust the border in the future when it becomes official. It seems that North Carolina will gain 150 feet of current South Carolina. This will mostly cause problems in the Charlotte area. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/46832892/ns/us_news-life/ -- James ___ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
Re: [Talk-us] We have less than a week left to remap!
Sorry, my bad. I saw another "Steve A" account in California that was Undecided and thought that was your account since it edited in Fresno, California.http://www.openstreetmap.org/user/Steve_A And yes, I do agree a possible push back at least a month would be helpful. Especially for South Carolina and California. -- James > Date: Fri, 23 Mar 2012 10:08:18 -0700 > To: rickmastfa...@hotmail.com; talk-us@openstreetmap.org > From: stevea...@softworkers.com > Subject: Re: [Talk-us] We have less than a week left to remap! > > >Steve, I agree that if we could have another month at least, we > >could probably at least untaint all of the Interstates in the US if > >everybody helped out.

If I get a chance, I'll see if I can figure out when it was deleted. I think I had Salisbury tagged as place=city; even though it's not very populous in an absolute sense, it seemed like its prominence on the Delmarva peninsula merited more than place=town. -- ...computer contrarian of the first order... / http://aperiodic.net/phil/ PGP: 026A27F2 print: D200 5BDB FC4B B24A 9248 9F7A 4322 2D22 026A 27F2 --- -- The new Linux anthem will be "He's an idiot, but he's ok", as performed by Monthy Python.

Re: [Talk-us] We have less than a week left to remap!
Steve, I agree that if we could have another month at least, we could probably at least untaint all of the Interstates in the US if everybody helped out. It would be better than nothing at least IMO. But Steve, it doesn't help that you are also one of the "undecided" users in CA. - James James: First of all, I am not undecided, I accepted the newer CT about a year ago, and have seriously contributed thousands of improvements to OSM since 2009.

Thanks for your help Marc and Josh, I will proceed with checking the data and add a place-node for the City.
