[Openstreetmap] the dangers of assumptions

[Simon Hewison]

I've just fired up the applet to start naming some street segments in my 
locality, and found that someone has started drawing roads straight 
through the local golf course, across a stream, through hedgerows and 
trees. (following a GPS track recorded by someone on an overflying 
aircraft).

Mind you, the wiki-style of openstreetmap means that it's easy enough to 
correct.
