Oh I wasn't referring to any kind of armchair mapping. I think it's ok 
if you map something in the vicinity of where you live, or at least 
where you are; if it is something that you have some first-hand 
knowledge of, rather than just an image.

The less desirable kind of armchair mapping, in my eyes, is when someone 
maps an area he's never been to. (I'm guilty of that too.)

Bye
