Any ideas?
In urban areas, it makes no sense to try to map residential driveways; I map the service roads/parking aisles/etc leading into parking lots and gas stations when I can. In rural areas, it may make more sense to map them as they are sometimes the only landmarks visible on an aerial. Yes, there's lots of "TIGER barf" where the driveways are either way off from their true positions or just not there anymore, but these should usually be fixed and not just deleted. -- Shawn K.
