That is precisely how I would prefer these spreadsheets to be used, to guide ground surveys. There is in fact nothing stopping us from using any data source we wish to guide ground surveys, because we would be gathering data only from those surveys.

If there is only one building and you can see a Canada Post logo floating around I think it is fair game. Canada Post is part of federal government so there is some sort of commitment to Open Data floating around under the Federal government's open data initiative.

Those such locations are now marked in pale red on the project's spreadsheets. The node for each such post office location just has to be positioned right next to its respective parent business. You can determine what each parent business is by looking on Canada Post’s own website, or by doing a simple web search for the postal code of each such outlet. With this, we are in a position to immediately add nearly 700 more Canada Post outlets across the country to OSM. This would bring the progress of this project to a completion measure of just under 48 percent. - David E.
