I don't think it is a good idea to call that just "complete". I think it 
should be made very clear that it is just the road network that is complete 
and not the map.

With the import of the AND data the road network in the Netherlands is mostly 
complete. Now we often hear: "Why do you still need to map more? It is 
complete with the AND data, isn't it?"

Having more levels or categories of completeness makes it clear that we are 
not finished yet after we put the roads in the database.
