Completely different issue - I removed data which a) Was wrong for b) Multiple months and c) nobody cared d) The information was easily observable without having those lines e) Is not "on ground data" we typically map f) Was invisible on the map for observers. So where is the problem? If you care take the 5 minutes to find those HiRes images which now spans most of the populated area in North China and put correct image boundarys somewhere. Remember how much work it was - Sitting there zooming into sat Imagery in 4 corners - putting 4 nodes and a single way into the OSM db. This was probably a couple years back and wrong for 3-24 Months. Whats the point in this data anyway? This thread took more time to write than to finde those newer, bigger areas and put a line around. I map stuff i care about - Stuff which is obviously inconsistent or broken, i fix, mark as such or remove. Doing so made this thread start so it was a good thing to do because suddenly somebody (You?) woke up and might now care about the broken data. Flo -- Florian Lohoff f...@zz.de
