I'd just like to pipe in that I wouldn't have done any of the mapping I've done without the TIGER data, and it wouldn't be very practical for me to fix along my tracked routes without having the names of streets already there (with fixes for abbriviations or changing name_1 to name if name=United States Highway *) At least my city looks pretty good now, with bike paths, straight roads, proper intersections on the map, schools mapped, pedestrian walkways in many parks, all of which is not from the TIGER data but is doable with the aerial imagery and help from the TIGER data. I did a little fixing on that 250 cities project.....I wouldn't have connected routes I've never been on if the TIGER data didn't say it was an interstate. I don't see how that would have been a smaller effort without TIGER (and certainly you'd have a lot less to connect in that case) -- Joseph Booker
