you overestimate what we've managed to map in Oz so far. we are a long way from having a working routable set of maps for even the highways across the land. At the exponential rate of increase we should be usable in 3 years, then will be a slow crawl to get the last remote places done. (lots of Oz is remote - about 50% of the land mass) _______________________________________________ legal-talk mailing list legal-talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/legal-talk
