That looks like vmap0 level of quality... The vmap0 dataset seems to have been used by a number of mapping providers as at least the base for parts of the world where they have no coverage, the resolution is incredibly low and the quality is horrible... What it does do, is make it look like there is map coverage in an area that would otherwise just be blank, of course, it's of virtually no use to anyone... d
