<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Initial mappers tag the large areas as
tree covered, ignoring details such as lakes, tree cuttings etc.</div>

<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Some time later details of lakes, tree
cuts are added. this may be some years later. <br>

<div class="moz-cite-prefix">This is simple evolution of the map -
more detail as time goes by. there is no bad intention with any of
the mappers, just trying to give some impression of what is there.

<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Problems arise when the source used it
not good enough to really say what is there, a swamp may look like
a patch of grass, or heath ... if you simply go by imagery then I
think this is bad practice. <br>
