Actually it is. Conspicuous landmarks are often specifically included
in the database for navigation, and the general lay of the land is
very accurate. From altitude you can't easily distinguish one barn
from another, anyway, so the general view provided by the sim is
little different from the real thing. The accuracy is high, and the
only real drawback is a potential lack of resolution (depending on how
good your vision is in real life).

If you've never seen the real thing, how can you make this statement?

You were the one that indicated that there aren't very many landmarks, even
though in real life there are, so this statement contradicts your other
posts.
