Hi Adrian
I also had a look at these maps and I still don't understand completely
how they relate to OSM. The map already displays the OSMs road network,
but where do the street names in the USGS map come from? They aren't
taken from OSM, are they? Are there indeed two road networks in the USGS
map, one in maroon (from OSM) and one from an unknown source (in black)?
For my taste, navigation in the PDF atlas is too complicated (for
mappers, people in the field may find it useful) and comparing the
street names manually with names displayed on a slippymap in another
instance is way too complicated too. Are the USGS maps available as
tiles served by a WMS server?
Regards
Karl

Wiki page
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/WikiProject_Haiti/Street_names
contains a section called "USGS map areas with street names" which
contains a list of pdf's with osm data overlain on USGS imagery with
streetnames missing from osm at the time of preparation highlighted -
these need adding to osm.
There is nothing to indicate in the wiki which, if any, of these have
been looked at systematically. Checking several at random has not told
me which have been done and which haven't, except for the last page
which has the "No named streets in this section" comment.
Can anyone say which of these has been done?
Adrian.
