Good. It is easy enough to revert back to original if you have made an 
error and you (finally) get a contact with the mapper.

I'd stay away from Google ... even for checking. With the imagery 
available for NSW I'd not be too worried about 'out of date'.


There are various mappers who I keep an eye onĀ  who do not respond, I 
believe these are school age kids with 'stranger danger' in mind so they 
never respond.

Despite requests to fix things they don't - this could be because they 
only map a few times a year and I get impatient with the errors.

I think their edits are slowly improving (or I'm being hopeful).
