[OSM-talk] How accurate is CIA world database data?

2008-05-15 Thread Farzaneh Sarafraz
I have been driving by a national border and have got a nice track there.
Now I see that at some places it totally crosses the country border in OSM
by a lot more than the GPS accuracy. Is it OK to refine the border?

N.B. The border in question is the one with Iran on one side and
Armenia/Azerbaijan/Nakhchivan on the other. This is *not* a disputed border.
