Here's TomTom's recent article criticizing un-pre-moderated crowd-sourced mapping (OSM is not named, but it's quite obvious): http://www.tomtom.com/en_gb/licensing/newsletter/201205/didyouknow/
Here's a slap down reply by Richard Fairhurst (OSMF Board member): http://www.systemed.net/blog/index.php?post=23 And here's the requisite Slashdot thread: http://news.slashdot.org/story/12/05/29/019213/tomtom-flames-openstreetmap As maning said on Facebook <https://www.facebook.com/maning.sambale/posts/4174530287009>: "First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.” It seems TomTom has left the "ignore you" stage already. :p ---------- Note: TomTom bought Tele Atlas in 2008. Tele Atlas is one of the 2 biggest commercial map data providers in the world. The other is Navteq, which was bought by Nokia in 2007. Note 2: As far as I know, Tele Atlas does not have significant data in the Philippines. _______________________________________________ talk-ph mailing list talk-ph@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ph
