Sorry, forgot to reply to this bit in my last email. Whilst the landsat 
isn't great for estimating city roads, there are some things Landsat is 
extremely useful for. For instance, if I want to estimate the positions of 
woods, lakes or heaths, it is good enough for that purpose. Landsat also 
helped me with adjusting a railway I added to OSM the other day... the GPX 
track wasn't great, so I used Landsat (plus existing OSM footpath data) to 
adjust its track.
