I did some spot checks on the file cited above, and it's better than I remembered. Comparing it with some of the places that I've been meaning to return to and field-survey, it's much freer from hallucination than TIGER. It's a bit out of date (which means both that new development is missing and that a few abandoned roads are there), but it's not horrible (while the TIGER-derived data are indeed horrible). _______________________________________________ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
