</div>This is not fairly worded. In Australia (and other sparsely populated<br>
areas), it is not just "for the sake of some lazy copying" - this<br>
issue is critical to whether there is any hope of eventually getting<br>
reasonable coverage of street names throughout the country. It's a<br>
big, sparse country.<br><br></blockquote><div><br>Yeah. I'm not willing to concede that staying at home and mapping a few hundred streets using electronic source is somehow "lazier" than driving a long way to take photo of a couple of streets. Physically visiting streets is seriously time consuming. The ratio must be something like 10:1 or worse.<br>
