There used to be a view that Openstreetmap could produce higher quality maps through local knowledge so we could eliminate the sort of comical routing errors that would have people driving into rivers. Unfortunately the culture seems to have become that any accurate local mapping should be replaced with unthinking tracing over the top of obsolete satellite imagery.
Twice I have updated this intersection http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=17/-37.10566/144.33590 to reflect the major changes that happened after the freeway was completed. Twice those changes have been removed by "mappers" tracing over the top of the old satellite imagery. Oh well at least its the same as google maps now! regards Neil -- <http://smap.com.au/>
