I do find two things remarkable about this plugin's
output:
1. It seems to have picked out an incomplete set based on the paths
relative to imagery.
2. I have no way of being able to survey the exact location of the GPS
output from the plugin from the ground (it's inside a fence factory,
/of course/ it's fenced off!), so I can only assume the GPS was
located on one of those big diesel-powered forklifts.
I had a look at the plugin - it does find some interesting things. I
find that truckers use the Scout App, and the profile where they drive
around a huge factory to pick up / drop off a load appears the same as
if a car is going through a previously unknown subdivision.
So once the plugin identifies an area of interest, confirm with
imagery or TIGER for the next step
- add driveways to a factory
- Add new road(s) from TIGER
- Schedule the area for a survey
The odd cloud of points comes from random inaccuracies of a
smartphone inside a vehicle, and excluded for a certain distance from
existing roads to minimize false positives.
