Are we now reaching the crux of this discussion ? Do you believe that local survey is a requirement for mapping ? I don't and I back my position with all the places I have mapped without having visited them - I'm curious about what criticism you'll express about the quality of my work.
If the opposition to mapping with the assistance of cadastral data is grounded in opposition to the principle of remote mapping, then we have a problem - and maybe you should talk to everyone who uses some provider of orbital imagery in the source tag.
Actually, I think that on-the-ground mapping and the use of aerial imagery / cadastre data are complementary. There are many things that you'd miss if you used one exclusively at the expense of the other.
