very good article indeed :-) I particularly like the quote: “Google's business model is selling advertising, so it's simply the business case,” says Andrew Buck, a volunteer coordinator with the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT). “Starbucks isn't paying for Google to advertise over there so there's very little incentive for Google to improve its maps.”

But If you only save the physical environment, you will ultimately lose both. 1) Don’t drive species to extinction 2) Don’t destroy a habitat that species rely on. 3) Don’t change the climate in ways that will result in the above. }<(((*> _______________________________________________ HOT mailing list HOT@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/hot
