Made a lot of progress today. Drove up and down a lot of our roads seeking road signs. Came home and updated/corrected. Still finding occassional/random duplicate roads. Today, “Jane” street coming east off Stockton Hill Rd several miles north of where it actually comes east off Stockton Hill Rd. It appears TIGER saw the wash and private drive and assumed it was Jane St. Lots of adds, but mostly name corrections today.

That explains much of what I am seeing here. Thank you for the info.

Sorry - I was just seeing how to insert images when I posted that - Have a great day.

Here is a screen capture from the (huge) Weather site showing my area that resulted in my getting questions from those using my station for their weather source. It appears they just started using “OpenStreetMap” the last few weeks.

Almost everything about that map was wrong.

Here is a before/after I did last night.

I read the wiki on TIGER and will be very careful in my deletions and corrections, using street signs as my source. We do have street signs here. We may not have a lot of houses, but street signs we have.

Thanks guys. I will have to read more on this TIGER stuff. I am sorry I sounded so irritated last night. I have a personal weather station that feeds into a worldwide website. The maps for my area were so bad that I as a weather station owner was getting a brunt of complaints. I did research and found the weather site is using these maps. I had assumed by the way some of these lines went through mountains, houses, etc, that some individual had accidentally clicked and dragged lines and didn’t know how to delete them once they did it.

Especially crazy (to me) was how our east-west streets were made north-south, and how it appeared my area in particular had been duplicated to the north and south of our hill (and badly so) with streets that don’t exist, using our street names.

There was far too many “Calle Parral” and “Calle Sonoita” streets within a 5 mile radius. Likewise, there was several times one street would be correct, and a block up, it was there again running through houses and private property.

It wouldn’t have irritated me so much if this wasn’t being used as an actual current map at the weather site for my station.

So, I will go research TIGER, take a deep breath, and keep plugging away on my area. And I will NEVER use that G’ company for data. ;) When I moved here, I had to get several streets fixed with them immediately. Contractors couldn’t find us at all using G’ maps. It was very frustrating.

Thank you for your patience as I learn.
