</div>Uh, err, um, I do. *blush*<br>
<br>
Sometimes I have a good track on an Interstate and I can see<br>
interchanges, bridges, etc on the Yahoo images. Combined with the TIGER<br>
data this should give us an accurate motorway and I delete the<br>
"tiger:review" tag. So far, so good.<br>
<br>
What do I do with the minor ways that cross? Sometimes I delete a<br>
portion and sometimes I move the way off the Interstate, hoping I left<br>
enough for the next mapper to work with. I can't claim I reviewed the<br>
minor way, not traveling down the Interstate at 75 mph.<br>
<br>
So, yes, I will risk making a feature worse if I can improve the map<br>
overall.<br></blockquote></div><div><br></div>And sometimes, when I'm cleaning up a dense urban grid of TIGER data, I have to stop somewhere, and very often that means I may have moved only one or two nodes belonging to a way, leaving a major unnatural kink in the road, and some ways only partly cleaned up, but still in need of further review.<div>
