Re: [OSM-talk] Uber most likely using OSM data

Just because it's very similar to OSM doesn't means it isn't using to some other database. You're arguing what I believe is called a 'false cause fallacy'. You should be comparing it with aerial imagery not Google maps. Dave F. On 11/08/2016 15:40, Mishari Muqbil wrote: This time I've shown

Re: [OSM-talk] Uber most likely using OSM data

Hi As has been pointed out, Uber's routing not following the inaccuracy within Google doesn't prove they're using OSM. Dave F. On 11/08/2016 13:44, Mishari Muqbil wrote: Hi everyone, I've made some more quick comparisons here: https://www.evernote.com/l/AAToqyEvUURAL71Q_xhbOB05s9mj-cH4Gg4

Re: [OSM-talk] Uber most likely using OSM data

The best thing would be to use the Uber API to receive the route instead, so we could compare the lat/lon of the points with the ones stored in db. But it seems that this API returns an image instead: https://developer.uber.com/docs/rides/api/v1-requests-map So we could instead use the

Re: [OSM-talk] Uber most likely using OSM data

Hello, given they may well have a very large body of GPS traces, they may be using these to route along. The way to check if they are using OSM is if the OSM map has intentional errors - a kink in the road where there is none on aerial imagery or on our GPS traces, for example. Some of my early

Re: [OSM-talk] Uber most likely using OSM data

Hi, I checked the about page. There's licensing information for a bunch of software and Google maps but nothing for OSM. On Jul 27, 2016 5:02 PM, "Christoph Hormann" wrote: On Wednesday 27 July 2016, Mishari Muqbil wrote: > Hi, > > I wrote a blog post >

Hi Martin, On Android you request a car, select the destination and the blue route preview line appears. On Jul 27, 2016 4:29 PM, "Martin Koppenhoefer" wrote: > > 2016-07-27 9:35 GMT+02:00 Enock Seth Nyamador : > >> Interesting analysis .I guess

[OSM-talk] Uber most likely using OSM data

Hi, I wrote a blog post comparing Uber's rendering of a sample route displayed in it's app with Google Maps and OSM Mapnik, it seems Uber is using OSM data for this function without any visible attribution to OSM. Best regards Mishari
