I'm not a local at all so all I can do is 'armchair mapping' for this area. It looks like some of the ways that have been removed were previously imported from TIGER. It would be helpful if there was a TIGER layer that we could use as a background image for things like street names and to see obvious places there are gaps. Are there any locals to the area who could get involved? If we're remapping the area we may as well take the time to improve it too. with things like POIs, turn restrictions etc. -- Matt Williams http://milliams.com _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
