OK, honestly I also map postboxes. And telephone booths. And petrol stations. And parking lots. And I do have a mobile phone, no car and hardly send any letters ;-). I simply map as much as I can - some things with more passion, and others simply because they are there and every detail somehow helps in orienteering or helps someone else. But I don't want to wait mapping trees until all xy are mapped. I want to map now what I like. If a company wants a specific thing to be mapped with priority it could hire some mappers and pay them to do the work. cheers, Martin _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
