Hi,
Would there be a wiki page which shows users how to:

1 -find the data on the Tiger site for the small region they are working in.

2 how to view the new updated version file (with gpsMapEdit?)

3 how to directly compare the new data with existing OSM (with a wms layer?)

4 how to convert the shape files that you want to use into OSM format.

5 how to tag this new data with the appropriate tags (ref ID /ver 2009 etc.)

6 how to merge it with osm (copy,paste, upload on josm)

Thanks,
sorry if thats already posted: i want to make a simple step-by-step
set of instructions for us in the land of snow.

Happy Holidays,
