Huh... I'll look at that.<br>

<li>You have a skip button, but no way to determine why it was

it by issue, like if better images become available, or better
methods for identifying the point. Possibly even manually
surveying the points. I think this is an important one to
add. Possible skip reasons I can think of. Poor image, empty
parcel, correct location, can't identify location from sat

Yes, there are lots of possible reasons. In the end though it's a
tradeoff between a fun and simple UI and data capture.<br>

Nope, can't do that.<br>

Who says it's being done for driving directions?<br>

Is that/will that not be a popular use for OSM? It does not
make walking directions impossible - just requires the
addition of the driveway to the map. OTOH, putting the pin on
the front door of a building inside a large parcel may well
leave a driver lost and quite a distance from where he needs
to be.

"The site allows you to drag a pin from where we think
an address currently is to the front door of the
property"<br>
<br>
Is that really where we want the pin to be for driving
directions? I've mostly tended to either putting the
address info on a complete landuse polygon, or if a
point, placing it on the driveway, just off the street
to which it connects. I swear I read this somewhere as
standard practice, and it makes sense from a
navigation standpoint, particularly for rural parcels,
where a "driveway" can be hundreds of meters long and
not mapped.<br>
<br>
San Diego County, CA, USA has a bunch of address data
from a SanGIS import.<br>
