> Hi Robin,

one aspect which I think people forget when doing detailed mapping, is data
maintenance in the future. It is very nice to have good and detailed data,
but they become useless over time if not maintained. The more data you
record, the bigger the maintenance task.
I personally prefer good, but less detailed data covering larger areas to
very detailed data restricted to small areas.
