It sounds cliché, but you ought to believe it:  I 
go to parties like that.  When I check my GPS, I 
like to see these in a map that works.  Say, at 
night.  So here I agree with Paul, I suppose we 
both go to parties like that.  Lots do.

As I see driveways (in Bing, for example), 
especially as I know the area and think "good to 
know that" I'll put them in our map.  Good to 
know that, especially as you can see that.  Whew, 
I thought I was going to have to walk the long 
way around the park, at night!  I am glad when I 
find these.  We have Civil Code 1008 (permission 
to pass on private property vs. is/is becoming 
right-of-way) in our state, so pay attention to 
the signs.  These become access= tags.

Tag what you see.  Tag what is.  This isn't 
difficult.  Maybe sometimes a little ambiguous or 
confusing, and so kind of discussion prone, but 
we have here to untangle things.  Doing so even 
works much of the time!
