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 ! _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
