That is right. I forgot to mention that maybe 70% of the connectivity errors (wild guess) is the result of TIGER being county-based, leading to 1) lots of connectivity errors at county boundaries, and 2) wildly varying quality between counties, even within states some say (I haven't really looked into that in any detail.) -- martijn van exel http://oegeo.wordpress.com _______________________________________________ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
