I've added that in and have been able to trace some roads up in rural MB around Dauphin, the currently un-mapped town where my inlaws live. I figure I'll take my GPS along and track out the entire town next time I'm out there. A good excuse for an outing!

I would ultimately like to map my own subdivision as accurately as possible, and then gradually keep adding more details outwards from there. I imagine I'll never run out of points to add. > > Yup, and how you already have houses drawn in. It will make the map look > even better. It definitely does look good on the map I must admit. :) Thanks! Tyler
