This probably wouldn't be the case with vmap0 though.
One way to "solve" this, would be to make OSM, or maybe maplint, highlight any data marked as being incomplete/unverified (like the tiger:reviewed=no value used for TIGER) > When I first started, there was a major road not far from here which was > presumably landsat derived, which I aimed to connect to. > > If only OSM had multiple databases, one for each source (GPS, TIGER, > Yahoo, landsat, OAM, vmap0), then conflicts wouldn't be as much of a > problem (I'm referring mainly to TIGER data where people had already > been mapping). Conflicts wouldn't be a problem, but it would become difficult/impossible to edit the other data sources, would it not?
