I just tried this tool and the results it gives are incorrect. For example, it shows this area as unedited and that is 100% incorrect. http://open.mapquestapi.com/tigerviewer/index.html?zoom=17lat=37.82347lon=-122.19419layers=B -Dave On Wed, Dec 15, 2010 at 10:04 AM, Ian Dees

I think putting these on the map would be a good thing. I would like to see them on the map. They should be identified and there should be an application that removes stale ones (part of the job of the app that adds them). -Dave On Thu, Mar 25, 2010 at 4:01 PM, Graham Jones

Perhaps the OSM database should be moved out of the EU to a location that doesn't suffer from a Database Rights law.Extracting from no-EU data source by people not in the EU would then be okay for sure. Extending the Database Rights law to extracting turn restrictions from Streetview is a

Google's forbids many things, but looking at an image and noting the turn restrictions (or other content) that you can see within it is not mentioned. Such a use is not covered by 2 (b) copy, translate, modify, or make derivative works of the Content or any part thereof; since the turn
