[Talk-us] GPS Tracking and the Most Novel Use of OSM data that I have seen.

I had autoplay enabled on YouTube. Somehow, I ended up listening to this legal discussion on GPS Tracking. It was one of the most engaging discussions that I have heard on the surrounding issues. Some of you may have used d3js.org for data presentation. The iD editor uses d3js to present OSM

Oh my goodness. Once again we have the alleged notion that imports will drive off mappers without examining any real data. If we look at the Buckeye Charger we see that fredo_p, a A Hit-and-Run Mapper, added the original node. He's still a mapper. Theodin a German mapper added something. AndiG88
