Guys, can I respectfully suggest that source=survey ? Vicmaps (and
others) sometimes show roads that have been closed, land sold off etc.
Those roads will show up in imagery because the car tracks last a long
time on the ground. Further, visiting the site can clarify the state and
status of a road. Road names on published maps are sometimes wrong, lets
not propagate those errors !

Lets restrict mapping via imagery to those situations where survey is
not possible.
