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? -- Lars Aronsson ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Aronsson Datateknik - http://aronsson.se _______________________________________________ Geowanking mailing list [email protected] http://lists.burri.to/mailman/listinfo/geowanking
