Re: [Talk-us] Naming Ramps

It's true that most ramps in the U.S. don't have names, but I do know of a few that appear to. In particular, the I-4/I-75 junction in Tampa appears to have named ramps. http://www.mapillary.com/map/im/K-n1LMSGIwseE2TPAa63wQ/photo -jack On July 30, 2015 4:51:17 PM EDT, Paul Norman wrote: >

The satellite imagery is not correct since the city moves locations each year, as described by the golden spike info. I'm totally onboard with OpenStreetMap being for things that are on the ground. The city is being built now and the streets are being laid out. My question is more about whether ge
