Hi,<br>
<br>
I'm new here and a little unsure of how best to proceed. I'm<br>
having some issues getting JOSM to run but I expect to get those<br>
sorted out soon. Then I want to start working on TIGER fixup.<br>
<br>
I'm located in central Oregon, near Bend. I see a lot of mapped<br>
roads around here, imported from TIGER, that are clearly very<br>
wrong.<br>
<br>
Most are simply incorrectly located. I can edit those from my own<br>
GPS tracks fairly easily and tag them as reviewed.<br>

Others, all unnamed, I'm less sure how to handle. Many are not<br>
roads at all. Some just simply don't exist. I'm not sure where<br>
they came from. Others seem to roughly correspond to irrigation<br>
canals.<br>
<br>
Should I simply delete these or just change their tags so they<br>
don't render as roads? If the latter, how should they be tagged?<br>
<br></blockquote><div><br>delete them, tiger is full off old roads which don't exist at all. Sometimes it may be still used as a hiking, cycle path or track. then change the highway tag.<br><br> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
OTOH, there are new roads that aren't in the currently imported<br>
version of the TIGER data. These I can clearly GPS and map.<br>
<br></blockquote><div>again use your GPS and yahoo images<br> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
In all of these cases I'm unsure of how my edits will coexist<br>
future imports of TIGER 2009, 2010, etc. For instance if I just<br>
delete bogus roads will they come back like zombies?<br>
<br></blockquote><div><br>no worries, there are no plans to merge any tiger data with new imports. this is such a difficult task. very unlikely that any one will volunteer for such a project. <br> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
Perhaps there's some guidance in the Wiki about all this but I<br>
have yet to come across it.<br></blockquote><div><br>you can also try to search the archives, there was couple of threads about this topic.<br>and most important have fun and don't be shy to make your own decisions how to fix things. after all tiger is just a start. <br>
