Nothing in that presentation says that Google sourced the data from Wikipedia, just that Wikipedia and Google had the same coordinates, which in this case would be from some "official" source. The current data on Google also differs from Wikipedia.

Does Google import any data from OSM? I know they import data from Wikipedia. See page 2 of https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1Eq73uboh5gOiIRf0xmOCCNS9GqQT9o38jA2e 1Isog88/edit?usp=sharing After seeing the area, I looked it up on WIkipedia and found the location on GeoHack had two digits transposed in the Lat Long, and this had apparently propagated to Google Maps. Looks like it has moved but still isn't in the correct place on Google Maps search, but is correct following from GeoHack to Google Maps or OSM. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Will_Rogers_%E2%80%93_Wiley_Post_Memorial_Seapl ane_Base Michael
