I'm being paid to keep ArcelorMittal site in Zelzate up to date, I actually receive detailed plans from AM to accomplish this. Especially all their emergency exist are very important to them.
So there is a legit business case for these type of tasks. But it is an ongoing effort as from time to time, someone comes in and thinks I had it all wrong and changes my industrial (crane) rails into man_made=rail (whatever that last one is, it's not official). It gets a bit frustrating at time to keep an eye on it but the customer does pay. It took me 1 phone call to receive their site plans. That area was 1 giant landuse=industrial with no details. It was the biggest visible gap in belgium from higher zoomlevels. In fact the other site of the canal is still like AM site was before I started this. http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=14/51.1630/3.7928 Glenn On 08-02-15 10:27, Jo wrote: > I'm already doing this, so you have my interest. > > Not exactly sure who the customers would be.
