I'm not arguing that life is easy with parcels. I'm questioning the majority statement. If anything parcels will be hard. That's a good thing. If we want to take the easy route we should give up now. Steve PS check out my kickstarter projecthttp://www.kickstarter.com/projects/237731198/gps-ar

We can put them on the OSM US server. So far the best suggestion to keep track of which data we've collected is the Google Doc spreadsheet I have set up. I'm happy to transfer this information to somewhere else if a better option comes up. On Sat, Feb 23, 2013 at 9:24 PM, Jeffrey Ollie wrote:
