Warin, your answer does help. I meant that I was looking from a satellite image at something that may have been a building, but the imagery was not clear enough to determine if it was a building for sure. A survey would not be possible as it is a place in Africa. I think then what I should do is "fixme=probable building” Thanks, Tom
