No, reference only says where the data comes from, best case - when it
was retrieved (vast majority now doesn't have that either). But no
guarantee it is still true with claimed precision.

Thanks for the link! Indeed, if the precision is too low, there is
danger, but from what I understood (my Czech is kinda weak ;) the grids
there are also because of some data representation artifact.
