I've also seen a number of edits by RetroGameBoy in the area that at first, were obviously only to game Pokemon Go, but have since leveled out at a substantially higher and more accurate quality over time. Not saying my edits are always high quality (they're not, particularly my oldest edits), but I have, from day one, participated with an assumption that I would improve my mapping game (I like to think I have, substantially) and that I or someone else wouldn't at least find my edits as a starting place for something of higher precision or accuracy later (I often have, on multiple consecutive occasions).
