True. But at the moment, a road with no name which has been surveyed by no people (e.g. traced from aerial imagery) is tagged the same as one which has been surveyed by one person. I agree there is a certain difference between being surveyed by 1 person and being surveyed by 10 people. But there's a much larger difference between being surveyed by 0 people and surveyed by 1 person. You seem to be advocating using no-name roads as some sort of bait to lure mappers into the area so they'll check other nearby work in passing, while finding out for the 9th time that the road actually does have no name :-) Gerv _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
