There's a question at the end but I'll start with a little background. Last weekend I took a drive that included US 93 in Arizona.
Naturally, I wanted to compare my GPS trace, the Yahoo images, and my memory to the OSM data. Much of this piece of US 93 is divided highway (is this also called a double carriage way?) but the TIGER data in OSM shows a single primary way. I moved the existing way to the northbound side of the highway and drew a fresh southbound way. They are both tagged "highway=primary", "oneway=yes", "ref=US 93", and "name=United States Highway 93". The TIGER tags remain on the northbound side but are not duplicated southbound. So far I'm happy with this. Parts of this highway are quit straight: http://www.openstreetmap.org/?mlat=35.396938&mlon=-114.259680&zoom=14 The northbound way has (mostly) all the nodes from the TIGER data. Southbound only has as many as I needed to connect to other ways, copy the shape of the northbound way, and a few more where a northbound node might have marked something in the image but there wasn't a way in the data. This part bothers me. Now the question. Should I 1) delete the (what I believe are) extra TIGER nodes from the northbound way, 2) add a bunch of nodes to the southbound way to make it match northbound, or 3) call it done and learn to be happy? -- --------------------------------------------------------------------- Joseph Scanlan http://www.qsl.net/n7xsd +1-702-455-3679 http://n7xsd.dyndns.org [EMAIL PROTECTED] (work) (not work) [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- So he went inside there to take on what he found.
