This stylesheet is extreme...Thank you very much ! <br /><br />This stylesheet is extremely helpful as I am using it to double-check all of the ways (that were imported by TIGER) in my town.<br /><br />For myself, the tiger:reviewed key is really useful for numerous reasons. When I first began mapping my town, there were a lot of ways that extended longer than they did in reality (through bing imagery or on the ground, personal visits]. In those instances, I split the ways and then deleted the non-existent parts. However, these ways would show up as 'green' and already edited in Mapquest's TIGER:Reviewed map that was earlier discussed. <br /><br />In the instances when I modified the ways thanks to bing, the data had improved but it wasn't complete in the way that a personal survey would be (verifying the street name, whether it's one-way or not, or street changes made after the bing imagery). This is why I find the blue/green colors on the map very helpful because some users (I don't mean to vilify them) who aren't local to my area did extensive editing based on aerial imagery, but didn't delete the tiger=reviewed nor add the additional information like . <br />In the case that they did remove the tiger=reviewed tag, how would I know what areas of town haven't yet been surveyed by local people on the ground ? <br /><br />Thus, once I personally verify the information on the ground, I remove the tiger=reviewed tag.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2453708052828116897.post-64654423864214999952011-12-08T09:11:22.990+00:002011-12-08T09:11:22.990+00:00Lots of messages.

Fi...Lots of messages. Trying to cover all of them.<br /><br />Firstly, I wasn't aware of Mapquest's excellent 'tiger edited' resource when I created mine. I would now be inclined to change my colours to match theirs to make it easier for people when moving to and from, except that red/green is problematic for RG colourblind people (10% men). I would guess that neither map performs that well actually. Is it worth ignoring the reviewed tag as Harry suggests? I think he has a point. Regarding brainstorming, our plan is to open up scripting on maps to the community so people can produce just what they want to produce. More about that early in the new year. At that point it will be possible to 'subscribe' to ITO Map and it will appear on the tool bar. Thanks for the 'key' comment, I agree it is a bit small - possibly it should be open by default for new users.Peter Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18235573808418063038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2453708052828116897.post-61744618647330101222011-12-08T01:07:45.577+00:002011-12-08T01:07:45.577+00:00Suggestion for "Key" link: Consider eith...<b>Suggestion for "Key" link</b>: Consider either rendering the Key link at about 5 times its present size and backing or limning with red ... until the first click on the link for any one logged in individual, then thereafter revert to the current format.
