When I first started mapping I was not that aware of the limitations of what can or should be mapped from satellite imagery

I mapped the private pools and backyard tennis courts of so many homes, doing that made me feel I was completing the map.

But now, I am feeling I should delete those data points for privacy reasons. I never asked those people if I could map their backyards, because I thought if I can see it I trace it.
