it was a ruler.

[OSM-talk] Google earth, Google maps

[80hnhtv4agou--- via talk]

If you people want me to prove my edit by adding a source, and a person from 
the data group as an editor,
 
asks me to prove it, and i redo my edit and he does not get back to me, why are 
you telling me I can not use
 
google as a map source, since all the maps on OSM are old news. like in my 
local area 7 months old.
