Hi, This was covered on talk-gb just over a year ago... http://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk-gb/2007-December/thread.html#2592 In short - it was due to the availability of more accurate data (for the markers - there was no issue with the accuracy of OSM itself) via the OXPOINTS project <http://www.oucs.ox.ac.uk/oxpoints/>. The Google map was produced as part of that project, independently of the overall website development, and the Powers That Be elected to go with it as a ready-made solution rather than integrating it into the OSM map. (Incidentally, I do see an attribution on the original page - "Mapping data provided by OpenStreetMap under an open license". That's correct isn't it?) - Matt _______________________________________________ Talk-GB mailing list Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb
