if one is a cyclist with interest in cycling, she/he will not go out
mapping parking lots or petrol stations just because someones declares
that they are important. The same is for adresses: it is not much fun
to map them, and therefore few people do it ;-)

actually I don't understand why so many people complain about mapping
trees. Trees have generally a longer life cycle than buildings. I like
trees and I like to have them in the map. Why should I map postboxes?
I hardly send any letters.
