You mean to take kown places for reference and determine the error of
their placement in VMap0 data ? We'll have only a small amount of
usuable reference points like crossings of really straight motorways.
What else do you have in mind ?

My main concern is the accuracy of several airport descriptions. DAFIF
delivers data for Chambely in France that does not match with the data
the pilots use for approach. St. Auban in France sits on top of a river
valley in the SRTM based scenery ....

Please note that I do not intend to blame Robin for his airport
collection. He does a great job. I simply think that the sources of
(mass) airport data that are publicly accessible are not that accurate,
