There is an article in Forbes about the increasing lengths data providers are going to to collect data for mapping. Link here: http://www.forbes.com/2008/10/10/gps-navigation-autos-tech-personal-cz_jb_1010nav.html?feed=rss_news Quote "'I laugh when I hear that you can make a map by community input alone,' says Tele Atlas founder De Taeye. He says that if tens of thousands of users travel a road without complaining, then Tele Atlas can be fairly certain that its map of the road is correct." Not sure if that's strictly true, given the quality of some of there maps, but anyway Regards Steve _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk -- anselm 415 215 4856 http://hook.org http://makerlab.com http://meedan.net
