Last week the US Census Bureau released the 2015 version of TIGER. This
afternoon I updated the data in the set of tracing tiles that Mapbox hosts.
As before, at zoom level 16 and up, it shows the complete TIGER streets,
and at zoom levels 12 through 15, it shows TIGER minus dynamically
subtracted
I am planning to update the Mapbox vector tileset that iD uses, but haven't
done it yet.

This would match how people usually talk about things like I-465 around
Indianapolis, ignoring all the other routes that are also routed along it,
but it doesn't work quite so well when there are co-signed routes that
persist for long distances where people refer to the paired name. I think

I don't know if it catches all the chains you are interested in, but Aaron
Lidman has been collecting the consensus tag schemes for various business
names for presets in iD. I think his current compilation is

Thanks for the feedback about colors in JOSM. I can clearly see now that
what made for good contrast in iD is hard to use in JOSM. I'll try some new
styles today and make sure they stand out in both editors. I think maybe
the answer is to put a casing around the line so that it has a different
look
Thanks. I'll try to make that clearer in the next revision.

As was just announced on the MapBox blog (
https://www.mapbox.com/blog/openstreetmap-tiger/) there is a new
OpenStreetMap tracing layer for 2013 Census Bureau TIGER map data in the US.
The main reason for it, aside from incorporating this year's TIGER changes,
is to provide different features at d

I've been using a Garmin eTrex 20 for most of the past year and am pretty
happy with it.
Compared to the earlier eTrex Legend HCx, it supports GLONASS, gets better
battery life (about 40 hours of use on two AA batteries), gets a fix much
faster after powering on, has more attractive (but slower) m
California gives State, US, and Interstate roads unique signed numbers
within the state, but not all states do. Interstate 64 in southern Indiana
is close enough to State Road 64 to cause frequent confusion.

This is amazing and wonderful. Once it works with linear features I would
love to run proposed TIGER refinements through it for people to accept,
reject, or fix.
The only thing that was unclear to me in the user interface was node
deletions. I took a wild guess and clicked on a node to delete it,

Or if you just want the US zip code polygons and don't care if you get them
from OSM or somewhere else, you could just download the shapefile of Census
Zip Code Tabulation Areas from

Thanks for the background. I'll skip over the TIGER hydrography, then, but
it's surprising that so much more of the NHD data is in OSM in some states
than in others.

That sounds like a good idea to me. I want to be careful not to break

Hi everyone.
At the time OpenStreetMap imported the US Census TIGER map data, the Census
was in the middle of their "Accuracy Improvement Program" that greatly
improved the alignment of TIGER features in many areas for the 2010 census.
Many of the TIGER corrections have since also been applied to
