To give an idea of the sort of things it's useful for: I used it to fill 
in several country lanes in various 2-4km x 2-4km areas (or so) where the 
main roads, and most of the footpaths, have already been done. Thus it's 
likely to be of particular use for both main-road and footpath surveyors 
who might not have time or inclination to do every country lane.

Indeed, as long as I'm careful with the alignment I can see that I could 
use it to fill in all the country lanes between here (Southampton) and 
Winchester.
