Are you saying that you wouldn't find mapping areas satisfying? If so, that's fine - you don't have to. But for people who want to do it, they should be able to. That's what this thread is about - giving them a way to map the world more accurately, if that's what they're into. _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
