OK, honestly I also map postboxes. And telephone booths. And petrol
stations. And parking lots. And I do have a mobile phone, no car and
hardly send any letters ;-). I simply map as much as I can - some
things with more passion, and others simply because they are there and
every detail somehow helps in orienteering or helps someone else. But
I don't want to wait mapping trees until all xy are mapped. I want to
map now what I like. If a company wants a specific thing to be mapped
with priority it could hire some mappers and pay them to do the work.
