The idea being that complex places are probably built op places. Then they compared that to node density to find undermapped places, and tile views to identify priority places. I don't know if this is available somewhere. <br /><br />Another quick and dirty approach could be one of the earth by night pictures. If there's light and no roads, that warrants closer inspection. The biggest problem probably being resolution. joosthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13529078337252726781noreply@blogger.com
