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. \\kristian -- ... et nemo ex vobis interrogat me: »Quo vadis?« _______________________________________________ Geowanking mailing list [email protected] http://geowanking.org/mailman/listinfo/geowanking_geowanking.org
