Are we now reaching the crux of this discussion ? Do you believe that 
local survey is a requirement for mapping ? I don't and I back my 
position with all the places I have mapped without having visited them - 
I'm curious about what criticism you'll express about the quality of my 
work.

If the opposition to mapping with the assistance of cadastral data is 
grounded in opposition to the principle of remote mapping, then we have 
a problem - and maybe you should talk to everyone who uses some provider 
of orbital imagery in the source tag.
