Great. As you can see, the vast majority of the time is spent gathering the data, not inputting it into the database. It makes little sense to spend months surveying 3000-5000 houses, and then only doing the data-entry for 1/15th of them (something which, if aerials are available and the endpoints are tagged, should take on the order of a few hours). Interpolation is best for those times when you only want to *survey* 1/15th of the houses. _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
