I map with yahoo wms. I don't map with gps.
Really, some building are very hard to map with gps: I map an area in 
which the buildings (most of them) are  private areas. So if I can't map 
with yahoo wms, then no building is mapping.

In Spain, although the propierty is private, there is a registry of the 
propierty (catastro), that is public (but copyrighted by Public 
Administration). Maybe Iván could help us with legal question. @Iván, 
please follow the thread in english. I think it's useful topic for people.

Thanks,
Xan.
