The benefit of collecting fresh data, so knowing rought times between collections is probably important here, I often see mistakes on google maps that has to be from ancient data sources that have never been updated since.

Also the train lines on gmaps follow ABS like paths in places where the line has been straightened, but the mapping data hasn't.
