Well, it does, since they're defining range and plat, but you're correct
that it's not expanded or assumed by anyone but surveyors.


 TIGER didn't get the memo apparently

Actually, that may have been the abbreviation bot that ran last year if
these county roads had the ref incorrectly in the name field instead of ref
when it ran through.

Nope. This being Kansas, they were expanded by the bot that ran several
years ago and was stopped at about the Mississippi. But the ways in
question did have a tiger:name_direction_prefix tag on them.

FAQ



Why did you do this?

I wrote scripts to joined them myself to lessen the impact
of doing a large join on Lambertus's server.  I've also
cut them in large longitude swaths that should fit conveniently
on removable media.  

http://daveh.dev.openstreetmap.org/garmin/Lambertus/2013-08-07

Can or should I seed the torrents?

Yes!!  If you use the .torrent files, please seed.  That web
server is in the UK, and it helps to have some peers on this
side of the Atlantic.

Why is my map missing small rectangular areas?

There have been some missing tiles from Lambertus's map (the
red rectangles),  I don't see any at the moment, so you may
want to update if you had issues with the last set.

Why can I not copy the large files to my new SD card?

If you buy a new card (especially SDHC), some are FAT16 from
the factory.  I had to reformat it to let me create a 2GB
file.

Does your map cover Mexico/Canada?

Yes!!  I have, for the purposes of this map, annexed Ontario
in to the USA.  Some areas of North America that are close
to the US also just happen to get pulled in to these maps.
This might not happen forever, and if you would like your
non-US area to get included, let me know.
