<div><br></div></div><div> Where the option for tracing would only be used in highly OSM mapped areas, and only used as a supplement, just as users who normally dont have a GPS would use the Yahoo imagery.</div><div><br>
</div><div>
But, am i right to assume that rendering such a map would probably not be worth it, as it would be just as easy to only extract from TIGER cerain sections and data types, and only grab a section of it to import to JOSM, and than manually compare and update the changes.</div>
<div>Is this how it's done??</div><div><br></div><div>But however, Rendering such a map (only using the update files) would probably be a valuable option, after the 1st round of GeoBase & CanVec data is imported. Would you agree?</div>

</div>I'd really rather just import the data rather than be in a position to<br>
trace 170 million nodes and 13 million way. Tiger roads are done, at<br>
least anyway.<br>
