I find the "tiger:county" tag to be useful as a quick way to figure out where I am when looking at a changeset or otherwise am zoomed in on the map while editing. "tiger:zip" would be useful when adding addresses if I could trust it, but it's wrong too often. The rest of the tags aren't useful because either they can be derived from the OSM-relevant tags on the road, or they're wrong/outdated. -- Mark _______________________________________________ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
