Here’s a print of Chinatown, San Francisco.
Instead of gargoyles, we’re using more appropriate bits of icon and text to recognize the corners.
Here you can see that someone has walked around Green Street and noted address information and a few businesses.
This is not information that you’d be able to get from a satellite image.
It’s also information that don’t really need a GPS for: the roads are already in place, but they need extra eye-level information.
