Very nice. The 2011 tiles have been an extremely helpful mapping aid
which I use all the time and am glad for the update.


on the subject of TIGER (2010, 2011, 2012). on the OSM US board last year we
at one point had a discussion about whether 2010 was really an improvement
over the TIGER that had previously been imported, and we were having trouble
finding examples of improvement.

i can now say that TIGER 2011/2012 is definitely improved in Warren County
New York, and i'm going to start studying how to do a safe replacement of
unedited data with newer TIGER data in the area -- the unedited older TIGER
data there now is pretty iffy.

  That works, thanks very much!   One complication was that JOSM cached 
the failures from my earlier guesses in my area of interest, so when I 
tried the correct version nothing was even downloaded until I moved 
outside of that area.

I feel stupid, but I tried that in JOSM as an image lary, as well as

A fantastic tool!  If it can be expanded to finding other issues even
better.

Interestingly I was just discussing overlapping ways with Telenav
yesterday. This will be a very useful thing to detect, but as these
overlapping ways are not visible on the Mapnik map so the R-a-T may
not be so useful for that. Some folks over at Telenav are developing a
JOSM plugin that works in a similar way (iterating over error points
pseudo-randomly and letting you fix them one by one) and may be better
suited to these 'invisible' problems.

A similar query could be used to find overlapping ways which are of
the same level and do not share a way.
This could help with routing.

There are a lot of queries like this which wouldn't be hard to do.
