[OSM-newbies] US TIGER vs. user-entered data

[David Ebling]

Personally I'd delete the Tiger data if it seems to duplicate better quality user-entered data. I would delete the less accurate duplicate, as  it should involve less work. What's the point in duplicating work that's already been done? There's nothing to say that we need to keep every Tiger way that's been imported is there? Or am I missing something?

You might want to check that there aren't any tags applied to the Tiger ways that should be added to the user-entered ways, though, that you know are correct.

Regards,

Dave
