Ye gods.

Looking at that patch of Lima it appears that name capitalisation is the 
least of your worries.  Perhaps a starting point might be a few NE-SW 
and SE-NW GPS traces (to help align the imagery), and a quick 
on-the-ground survey of some of the obviously problematical areas (e.g. 
way 111912131, which is unconnected to anything, and on the Bing imagery 
is a football field).

That should give you an idea of the positional validity of what's there 
- there's no point in wasting time manually correcting "ROAD A" to "Road 
A" if Road A doesn't actually exist any more.

Obviously the quick survey to get GPS traces available could pinpoint 
some key POIs too.

Cheers,
