Hello all,<br><br>
<x-tab> </x-tab>I think
that mapping a "desert" area could be a good way to get
people involved, because <br>
<x-tab> </x-tab>1. It's an
area that has an urgent need for mapping and <br>
<x-tab> </x-tab>2.
Much of it is virgin territory, so even beginning mappers could
contribute a lot just by correcting TIGER street alignments.<br>
<x-tab> </x-tab>I also
think it's a good idea to limit the area, so we have a good chance of
making a visible impact. <br>
<x-tab> </x-tab>To that
end, I would like to suggest West Virginia. I recently encountered a
rural area of W.V. while doing the Maproulette. Not only were the roads
badly aligned, but the local TIGER technician named every driveway with
the same name as the street to which it was connected.<br><br>

Hi,<br>
as I don't read any discussions about where and what to map, I would like
to bring up this essential question again.<br><br>
Just a few possible ideas (that can be also mixed):<br>
- adding new details (as buildings, landuse, ...)<br>
- fixing TIGER (alignment, classification, ...)<br>
- focus on the coast areas only (big cities)<br>
- focus on the countryside (where no one has been before)<br>
- focus on n states (and making there a huge step)<br>
- ...<br><br>
cya,<br>
Matthias<br><br>
