>From wikipedia: "Surveying or land surveying is the technique and
science of accurately determining the terrestrial or three-dimensional
position of points and the distances and angles between them. These
points are usually on the surface of the Earth, and they are often
used to establish land maps and boundaries for ownership or
governmental purposes."

IMHO, those sites are used for surveying. Or at least they're close
enough to not warrant introducing a new obscure tag.
