On 14th February, geocaching.com dropped Google Maps (2 million
hits/day, according to the site) in favour of a selection of MapQuest,
CloudMade, OSM et al., directly citing cost concerns.

Since the userbase is a bunch of people who mostly already have their
own hand-held GPS receivers, it might be interesting to see if it leads
to a noticeable increase in OSM mapping.
