Even as a first pass when mapping a line for the first time? Usually all I have at my disposal is aerial imagery, or if I’m lucky, low-resolution Bing Streetside imagery. I often end up connecting a power=minor_line to another power=minor_line or power=line at a pole or tower, and it can be unclear which is which. I’ve also encountered a number of power=minor_lines that terminate with a power=pole where, for all I know, the line goes underground, or with a tagless node where it attaches to a house, or with something else like an emergency=siren (my original reason for micromapping minor lines). Is there an additional level of detail I need to be including?
