</div><br><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">more than positional precision I try to achieve relative accuracy, e.g. the position of a building in respect to another, the shape of something (e.g. if the road is straight, I do not put intermediate points), if a feature is linear I do not represent it as a node, etc.<br>
