Well, "Freemap data is from now on being contributed to the
OpenStreetMap database." I must admit that I've never seen "Freemap"
before and I'm really happy to see they did this move in order to
combine their forces.
Please take into account that merging such data of different sources
and resolutions is _very_ time consuming work because you almost always
have to adjust the boundaries manually. For example we have roads in
the high resolution dataset which are placed almost correctly and the
same road in the low resolution dataset has an offset of several
hundred meters ....
We are already preparing such a merge but I expect the process to take
several, not to say numerous months until we're ready to offer the
first results.
Cheers,
Martin.
