+1000 Which is why I usually get Google maps to give me a route, check it in my printed road atlas, and then use my car GPS' to remind me roughly when the turns are coming up. Last night a friend sent me a Google Maps link which included an area I had surveyed for road names/POIs a few days ago. In a roughly 600m x 500m section of the suburb, I can see two non-existent roads, 9 roads that join up when they don't, 4 roads that go across 2m streams when they don't, one road that is basically someone's driveway, and a whole bunch minor things. Not bad for 0.3 sq km. _______________________________________________ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
