[Talk-us] Tiger 2007 Data

[Nick Hocking]

If by "not disturbing existing edits" you include the
overlaying of other data on top of existing ones,
then I completely agree.

Also there are countless non-existant roads crossing
the interstates. These have had to be deleted and I
agree, must never come back.

And yes I agree that any altered tiger data should be left
just as is and no ways added.

I don't agree that new tiger data should ever be overlaid.
It should replace old unmodified tiger data and should
not be added near any other data.
This would just repeat the cycle where good data is degraded
by the overlay of older info and must then be re-edited.

My observation is that OSM mappers produce more accurate
and uptodate data than any one else. Therefore if
the bulk uploading interferes with OSM data then the
quality of the OSM data will be degraded.
