imported local data to have been particular inhibiting in my

It started out as an interesting story, until I got to the
"outsiders". Outsiders?!?! You have GOT to be kidding me. Next are
we going to have a manhood contest about who has the longer,

It's common practice for providers of aerial/satellite imagery such as
Yahoo to mask out actual coverage of oceans and large lakes with a
generic "ocean" texture that is meant to lo

I like to view OSM data as capable of creating some usable map types on its
own, rather than just a possible supplemental feed to Google maps in the
future. As such, landmarks are key to a standalone m
