actually site property limits (at least in Europe for built-up areas, but I guess mostly everywhere else as well) are much more stable than most of the stuff we usually map in Openstreetmap (e.g. shops, restaurants, cycleways, etc.). I agree that good data coverage is desirable, but if a mapper has fun mapping his surroundings in highest detail, let them do it. cheers, Martin _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
