That is a really good point. TIGER is weird in so many different ways, even I keep running into things I never thought would make it even into TIGER. I wouldn't really know how to classify the problems you see in TIGER, though. Misalignment is definitely a major one. Misclassification as well, due to dubious choices at import (most 'residential' should actually be 'unclassified', for example) and there are lots of roads that I would tag tertiary that are lowest paved road class (A41, mapped to residential in OSM). Others? I would love to collect a few 'worst practices in a blog post on openstreetmap.us - anyone willing to do a guest post? In general, I would venture to say unedited TIGER can almost certainly be improved using Bing imagery anywhere in the US. -- martijn van exel http://oegeo.wordpress.com _______________________________________________ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
