(sorry, typo on subject in first message) Hi,
someone has written to DWG because they were disappointed with a "Travel like a Local" map they bought on Amazon. Apparently there's an author there named "Maxwell Fox" who churns out these "Books" which promise, among other things: "The map is very detailed and it will not only give you all the available roads and routes, but also the essential information to make your Luxembourg City (Luxembourg) vacation unforgettable." "In the map you can see all the available means of transport, bus stops and routes so you can always know how to get everywhere." "And because we know that a vacation is not only about the roads and busses, the map gives you many options for eating, drinking and having a good time!" "We carefully marked all the restaurants, bars and pubs so you can always find one that is nearby." "In the Luxembourg City (Luxembourg) map you will also find the best places to go shopping, the most famous and must-see sights, churches and more." "And if an emergency comes up, there are markings of police stations and hospitals everywhere for your convenience." "Each kind of marking has a different color so you can easily navigate around the map and find exactly what you’re looking for within seconds." Is this a new phenomenon? Has anyone seen any of these maps, or seen a report about them? The Amazon listing doesn't say the data comes from OSM, but I guess the printed work must, otherwise the complainant would not have written to us...
