    This doesn’t compensate at all for mapping coverage, which makes it really bad data.

      From what little I know of research projects data is never ever complete enough. Or recent enough. Or analysed enough.

      OSM is nice because it’s open source but as a mapper I agree it’s far from complete.

      You’re right. It woudl be better to focus on a smaller area with good data instead of a huge area with bad data. Shit in - shit out
