Usually they end up changing the definition. ___ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us

Pretty sure the source our state borders were imported from was off by more than 150 feet in most places anyway... Maybe it's better in urban areas I guess.

[Talk-us] South Carolina & North Carolina border shifting to the South
I just saw this mentioned on MSNBC and thought I would let everybody know about this since we would have to adjust the border in the future when it becomes official. It seems that North Carolina will gain 150 feet of current South Carolina. This will mostly cause problems in the Charlotte area. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/46832892/ns/us_news-life/ -- James ___ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
