<plug> i am, but in a somewhat tangential way. i've been maintaining RoadMap for several years now, and added OSM support to it some time ago. RoadMap can convert and display either quadtile-based downloads, or country-sized downloads (for small countries -- bigger countries are an issue right now). RoadMaps Tiger support hasn't been extended to the new tiger shapefile format, and i'm not too worried about it since OSM is clearly going to be the right place to go for free maps for some time to come. </plug> thanks for the josm tips. since i've been using the Tiger maps in new england for many years, i'm confident i could "review" many roads pretty quickly. paul > > > > given how many roads will need reviewing, what's the absolute > > most efficient way to do so? > > In JOSM, select all the roads.
