Re: Point Has Merit
said by pnh102  :What makes you think government-mandated maps will be any more accurate? Because information for government maps must, by federal law, conform to FDGC standards for metadata and placing purposefully misleading accuracy statements in that metadata would then open up the data providers to lawsuit if those data are the basis for incorrect decisions.
Right now, Verizon makes no guarantee to their accuracy and has no liability if the accuracy of their mappings are incorrect.
