High-voltage lines are not just for electricity buffs: they are also
highly visible landmarks, so they are of great interest to about
everyone else who has not yet blindly outsourced his navigation skills
to  portable routing device. Same with health facilities: there may not
be a sign to your destination, but if it is near an hospital you will
easily use the signs that point to the hospital to get near your
destination. Many such indirect uses exist - there are even uses of data
that we don't know about and many more that have not been invented yet,
especially when external joints are taken into consideration... So moar
data - build it and they will come !
