Oh what a great tool. This is excellent to check if anything is missing
...in Google, of course!
But the two issues it's making obvious I've known before :-)
1) Google is missing a helluvalot of roads and passageways (not to
mention the uncounted foot- and cycleways)
2) I definitetely need an accurate GPS - but christmas is as remote as
ever ;-(
Thanks, Sven
