I just found out that I can overlay the latest TIGER data (2011) on JOSM and Potlatch. Apparently the feature has been there for a while, but I just ran into it and wanted to make sure everyone else was aware. It is much better than running TIGER data through org2osm and overlaying it in JOSM. With this feature, you get can get the roads and names on top of a Bing image. Makes it easy to add new roads into OSM. You do have to expand the names, for example E Elm St. into East Elm Street. And when two roads connect, there is not clear dividing line between the roads, but usually you can tell. The feature is shown on the wiki at: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/TIGER_2011
So, whoever added this feature, thank you very much. -- Clifford I have promised to cut down on my swearing and drinking, which I have.
