I don't map with gps. Really, some building are very hard to map with gps: I map an area in which the buildings (most of them) are private areas.

In Spain, although the propierty is private, there is a registry of the propierty (catastro), that is public (but copyrighted by Public Administration). Maybe Iván could help us with legal question. @Iván, please follow the thread in english. I think it's useful topic for people.
