Hi Steve,

I hope you didn't read may description of the status of the mapping on the
CA West coast as  criticism. It was a comment on the second half of the
title of this thread ("...for use with OSM mapping"). In fact I noticed
when I last drove along the coast by car that the map had drastically
improved - now I know who did it. Thanks.
