Once again, we get proof that leading U.S. businesses apply the 
same primitive amateur routines that we hobbyists use in projects 
such as OpenStreetMap.  Why on earth would TeleAtlas, who gets 
money from selling their maps and apparently can afford having a 
person driving around cities and country, not have access to 
engineering drawings of the on- and offramps of every motorway?  
Why is the U.S. so full of amateurs?  How can you build a road 
(for taxpayers' money, I presume) and then forget where it was, so 
you must go out and survey its position?
