But seeing as the waze app doesn't show aerials, that hardly matters too much.

It's not just a question of whether or not the aerials are shown in the App. General inaccuracies in GPS would cause your position to jiggle all over the place with any satnav. They all overcome this problem by keeping the user position "snapped" to the nearest segment. If segments are drawn in the wrong position, it increases the chances that the app/satnav will lose that snap/lock and place you in the wrong position, possibly then giving wrong directions.

This is also why all editors are advised not to map all lanes in car parks - they're so close that GPS inaccuracies cause the user position to jump from segment to segment.

Done - :D - Remember the aerials are out by 10m in most of London.

True - But i'm anally attentive and it bugs me LOL

But the roads are based on real roads, which are in real positions, so instructions will be given a whole ten metres early or late :lol:

Wasn't complaining anyway, just pointing it out in case you forgot/didn't realise.
