I've seen postboxes, shops, pubs & restaurants placed on the wrong road let a lone in the incorrect place on the right road! I don't even trust my own mapping (especially my GPS recording) & would welcome people checking my data. I'm gob-smacked by an attitude I've seen in OSM of believing blindly that the first & only trace of a route is automatically spot on!!
This laissez faire attitude to accuracy within OSM astounds me. The more uploaded GPX traces/checks of a route the better. Surely? _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
