Sometimes as I labor over doing these areas correctly I wonder if someday it will all be made obsolete. I don't know when or if it will happen but I have to think that some point in the future OSM will employ aerial imagery as does Google. Then, instead of a white, featureless background in areas no OSMer has "filled in" we'll see the earth's surface as it really is with our routable ways overlaid upon it. <https://www.avast.com/sig-email?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campaign=sig-email&utm_content=webmail> This email has been sent from a virus-free computer protected by Avast. www.avast.com <https://www.avast.com/sig-email?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campaign=sig-email&utm_content=webmail> <#DDB4FAA8-2DD7-40BB-A1B8-4E2AA1F9FDF2>
