The similarity exists in that OpenStreetMap also has people, ordinary people, collecting this data and uploading it on OpenStreetMap. The modus operandi is similar.
Also, the Delhi Police is acting on a complaint lodged by the Survey of India that exerts its right as the sole map maker in India. Isn't that in conflict with what we're doing on OSM too? I learnt and contributed to Google Maps before I did to OSM. It was on Google Maps that I learnt about OSM. I feel kinda sad with this community taking this approach. Mappers must be able to contribute to any platform that they wish to. I think this case sorta threatens that freedom. Anyway, that's just me. warm regards, Pradeep On 5 April 2013 22:19, Shekhar Krishnan <shek...@topomancy.com> wrote: > This is about Google's private data collection efforts, not OSM's public > map-building.
