i've done some quite detailed editing near where i live, i'd appreciate<br>
anyone who is interested taking a look and responding.<br>
<br>
i'm not sure what to make of the result. for one, my partner, a<br>
non-mapper, has told me she finds it very confusing, which potentially<br>
raises questions<br>

<br></blockquote><div>Hi Robin,<br><br>one aspect which I think people forget when doing detailed mapping, is data maintenance in the future. It is very nice to have good and detailed data, but they become useless over time if not maintained. The more data you record, the bigger the maintenance task.<br>
I personally prefer good, but less detailed data covering larger areas to very detailed data restricted to small areas. <br><br>Volker<br>(Padova, Italy)<br></div></div>
