The case in question is not internally consistent! The main roads are more correctly placed than the buildings. This doesn't stand out like a sore thumb because the roads and pavements are wide enough to take up the slack. However, a 1m wide footpath, sandwiched between two buildings, and displaced by about 6m does stand out. The other risk is of a gradual, but not as gradual as continental drift, creep as features get added relative to misplaced features placed relative to misplaced features. _______________________________________________ Talk-GB mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb
