The Qld boundary data seems to be more accurate than GPS in most if not all cases, and it has to be in case of legal disputes arising. So it's not exactly clear cut as to if imported data is better or worst, you need to know what the intended purpose of the data is also. ___ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au

http://osm.org/go/uN5Scwuk- unexpected consequence of merging admin boundary and road the section of the Illawarra highway immediately west of the railway crossing at Robertson has been merged into the admin boundary which gives this result on Navit the road is not displayed, so I'm going to have to take a really big diversion next week :) <>___ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
