The thread is mainly about land use classification, but what about roads 
and rivers ? vmap0 is really inacurate and it's a pain to fly vfr 
(following road). Not only a lot of features are missing but most of 
those visible are off by a great distance. And then it's also difficult 
to add landmarks to the scenary because there is no accurate reference 
point to help positioning objects. Will we use osm in the future ? And 
since osm is far from being exhaustif how to make a choice of wich one 
between osm and vmap to use to generate a tile ?
