Besides a few city names, USA was completely missing in 2007?

  Much of the progress came from importing the TIGER roads data. I don't know it first hand, but the story is that other maps of the US were in pretty good shape and data was relatively available (either the TIGER data, or from states and counties), so interest wasn't very high.
