I've done extensive reworking of "my area" of the Upper Valley of the Connecticut River on the New Hampshire - Vermont Border. What a mess! Tiger was dropped as a layer over my previously uploaded data. Think I may have sorted a lot of it out, though no doubt a good amount is left to be done, getting a neck ache from it all. I guess my wish would be for Tiger not to be reintroduced in this area anytime soon. Tried to keep what was best of both datasets. One way to keep editors happy is to not nuke "their" data. Tiger had (and has) many significant errors here. Naming is one, missing new construction, and a spectacular mis-conflation of a major roadway, all in a days fun for Tiger, seems as Tiger has updated there data possibly from O.S.M. in one instance noted. On another note I notice the online applet editor know has copyright data from Navteq and Tele Atlas. Thought they were evil incarnate, at least according to the talk digest. Guess it's only a matter of time before forking private and getting all that free editor content and making money off of it. Perhaps they could pay me to enhance O.S.M. data.

Put in a fair amount of data, and Viola! Tiger was conflated on top of it, I guess thats what you get when your in a hurry : ( I thought I'd go back in and clean it up. Relearning the J.O.S.M. thingamabob. Played on the user profile the map doohickey seems to need some help, the map on this blog is also on the fritz. I wonder what Tiger 2010 will bring.
