Re: [Talk-GB] How to map new housing?

If you've got no imagery - basically you're stuffed for building outlines except for guesswork ( I tag these as "visual estimate" - sound a bit better). Digital Globe Imagery tends to have more new housing estates than other imagery sets .If you've surveyed an area just add address nodes Regards
