This is selfevident. Without more or less complete addresses the map cannot be used in, say, an ambulance application, or in a delivery service application, etc. It is unusable.
But if there is a /critical mass/ of addresses for a town or a city, then the rest could be completed by the same ambulance or delivery service drivers. They actually drive to a certain address, and may mark it on the map for future calls or deliveries. On the other hand, in mountains I always rely on GPS traces, as a GPS trace means that someone really walked this way. A GPS trace is the most important in mountains. So "World's most complete map" seems to be OK. brgds Oleksiy On 23.10.2014 18:56, st...@asklater.com wrote: > ... > What I really mean is the “world's most complete open map”.
