It is useful for fire-fighters here, there is even a movement to place 
signs on the street to indicate where they are, just like fire hydrants.
As for 'colouring-in' yes there are vast areas of blankness.
I'd adding farmyards at the moment .. there are 100s of square 
kilometres of them all blank at present. It does at lest give some 
indication that there is not nothing there.
Once I get bored with it I'll go back and add the bits of trees and 
scrub and also homesteads and bits of natural=water (reservoir where I 
can determine it).
