Not sure if this should go here or on talk-us, but I'm a newbie, so... When should I be clearing the tiger:reviewed=no tag on a way?
I've been editing in Seattle, where the TIGER data is really accurate. (I've used it by itself pre-OSM, and checked it against GPS surveys or survey markers, and it's always spot-on.) So I've only been removing this tag when I've, for example, gone out and gotten a matching GPS track and checked signage on foot and so on. But I started doing some edits in suburbs and neighboring cities and noticed that Seattle is kind of an anomaly: elsewhere, the TIGER data is much less accurate. It's still topologically accurate (that's what the Census needs, I guess) but the absolute positions are all over the place. So I've spent a few evenings adjusting the TIGER-derived road network to match aerial imagery and public GPS traces. Should I be removing the reviewed=no tag on ways that I've done this to? For that matter, should I remove it on the vast majority of Seattle roads, which are accurate as far as I can tell? Or should I stick to the standard of only removing the flag for ways that I've checked with an on-the-ground visit? _______________________________________________ newbies mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/newbies
