I've not had any reply back from my 'Decliner'-contact in SC about a public domain option. At this point, it does not look hopeful. He has done a huge amount of TIGER fixup on highways, and stitched up all the county borders in SC to become routable; and did detailed road work centered in the Columbia, SC area. With work, I probably won't have time to do any remapping before April 1. ___ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
Re: [Talk-us] Finding new roads

The only real way to do this is with a local mapper but bringing the USA up to Tiger 2011 up-to-datedness would be a great start. Are there tools to 1. Compare named OSM roads with Tiger 2011 roads and highlight just the new ones. 2.Compare Bing imagery with Tiger 2011 and highlight any apparent sealed roads that do not have Tiger 2011 ways. Roads currently traced but not named can already be targeted well using OSMI highways facility and could be fixed first. I've been meaning to do some buffer analysis in my county to find roads that are missing or grossly misplaced [0]. Doing it for a county or for the whole US isn't that much different aside from computation time and disk usage. Of course this doesn't catch name or classification differences, but it would be a help. -Josh [0]: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/BMO#Differential_import ___ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
