Agree with Corey, I've mentioned this elsewhere <https://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg03395.html>, but it's important to note that as of iOS 6 <https://blog.openstreetmap.org/2012/10/02/apple-maps/>, Apple has been (and still appears to be <http://applemapsmarketing.com/2014/11/open-street-map-apple-maps/>) using OSM for map data. I don't know the rationale behind why we need our own OSM servers, but does that rationale also prevent our iOS app from using Apple-provided OSM data?
