A one on one copy would be silly, but if you bring it all together,<br>
agiv/grb and osm data, it helps to make sense of what you are looking<br>
at. Also it is conclusive usually when new buildings replace older.<br>
It's the best source, I don't really care if the house isn't exactly as-is.<br>
<br>
The housenumber inports will take years, but it's fine as it is as tons<br>
of intelligent choices and conclusions, mistakes and other uglynes needs<br>
to be fixed too. And it all helps, if you overlay them with some<br>
transparacy adding GRB would be an awesome tool.<br>
<br>
I've been doing housenumer entries for weeks now, grb layer would<br>
defenitely be of good help. But never a dumb copy.<br>
