 Then you get other "fuzzy" ones :-), such as this one that I found
yesterday:
https://www.google.com/maps/@-28.2142429,152.8674011,3a,75y,325.73h,113.86t/data=!3m8!1e1!3m6!1sAF1QipPfNNEI5kmxC-HEqvkJfk2U3sHvxt_CijvrDU1R!2e10!3e11!6shttps:%2F%2Flh5.googleusercontent.com%2Fp%2FAF1QipPfNNEI5kmxC-HEqvkJfk2U3sHvxt_CijvrDU1R%3Dw203-h100-k-no-pi-0-ya275.80704-ro0-fo100!7i7168!8i3584

I was in this area last week & went in yesterday to check & if necessary
update some map features. I found that this tower is currently mapped as a
water_tower
https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/740880328#map=19/-28.21438/152.86816.
Well, yes, it is as it has a water tank on top, but it also supports
various mobile phone & TV antennae, so what should it be?

Thanks

Graeme
