I did have someone from the census come by my house the other day. They had a PDA and typed my answers to a few quick questions. I think they verified my address and made sure that mine was the only dwelling on the property. I wonder if there was a GPS in the PDA that verified coordinates while they were on my porch. -- Dave _______________________________________________ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
