[talk-au] Google copying from OSM maps

2013-02-13 Thread Barker, Nicholas
Ok I've just spotted somethingit appears Google has added a couple of 
trails onto their bicycling maps layer that only appear on OSM...nowhere else. 
Namely the trail called Follow Me in Lysterfield Lake Park in Melbourne but 
probably all the others too..

Is this an issue?

I mapped some roads in the state forest I like to play in and noted they 
were substantially wrong in Google at the time. Couple of months later, 
four or five ? they were fixed in google. Vic forest maps still show 
them incorrectly but of course that could be just old releases, maybe 
the State data has been corrected and has flowed on to google ?


Very hard to establish cause and effect.

I guess we want to see all maps accurate ?
