Hi Russ, Thanks for your elements, I look forward to your whitepaper or any format you will find appropriate to wrap up your thoughts from this last and important deployment. I think that your proposal of extensions to other related fields of study and practices make sense and can help out pulling out more thoughtful mapping documents around mapping rural areas in Developed Countries (DCs) and Least Developped Countries (LDCs) which is where my request is based.
