I guess one way to break up UK mapping data monoploy is for other owners of important GI to release it, such as local authorities, http://www.gisdevelopment.net/magazine/global/2008/august/52.htm James Stewart On 29 Aug 2008, at 12:31, Robert (Jamie) Munro wrote: -BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Tim Dobson wrote: Whereas Ordnance Survey maps were designed for the military, and churches were added simply as useful landmarks, No one here seems to have mentioned that the reason that on-line maps aren't as good as OS maps is that OS won't give out the information (at least not at a reasonable price), so TeleAtlas, NavTeq, AND etc. have to spend millions of man hours collecting it all again, and they don't have the need to add all the bits and pieces.
