Hi All Just had a quick look at the OpenData, in summary:
-> Buildings are slightly more detailed, basically vector versions of the one on the streetview raster map -> All of the rest, forests, rivers, are no different than the current Vector data we already have (AFAIK). Forests,rivers etc are the same size as the older data. -> Roads seem to include a few more details, but not enough detail on them for accurate usage in OSM. So basically, it gives us slightly improved buildings, but they are still highly simplified in terms of their pay for products.
