Tracing settlement features in Tongkil Island. I was also looking at several islands in the Andaman archipelago the other day. Lingering thought: what if they don’t want/need to be mapped?

If it is there then it should be mapped. Having said that, I have had some of my survey work in OSM eliminated, although visible in Google. Makes you wonder what some people have/want to hide, doesn’t it?

Thanks for that. Yes, makes me wonder! Also, I was thinking that while it might be OK for places to be mapped at the small scale, the large-scale (high detail) might be too sensitive for some areas, e..g indigenous domains. Very tricky and difficult issue.
