[Talk-us] Comparing Tiger 2017 dataset with OSM in a automated way.

It would be interesting to see what differences CYGNUS would turn up. What
would the output of CYGNUS be?

I put together the TIGER 2017 layer that's in the editors right now. I'll
work on writing up how I did it later today.

Basically: I used tiger-tiles (https://github.com/iandees/tiger-tiles) to
generate a vector tiles database with expanded road names from TIGER 2017.
Then I downloaded an osm-qa-tiles (https://osmlab.github.io/osm-qa-tiles/)
file for the United States and ran osmlint's tigerDelta (
https://github.com/osmlab/osmlint/tree/master/validators/tigerDelta) to
find the segments that had different geometry. The output was then ran
through Tippecanoe to generate a vector tileset and posted to Mapbox as the
low zoom red features.
