This is, however, how OpenStreetMap started and operated from 2005 to 2007, when we got access to Yahoo! imagery. Before Yahoo! it was all GPS and ground surveying. And even with access to aerial imagery, we still need to go out there and collect street names in most parts of the world. Here we at least have TIGER. So yes, it's feasible. It won't be perfect overnight, but then again, it probably wasn't to begin with. -- martijn van exel http://oegeo.wordpress.com _______________________________________________ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
