After more than two years in OSM, I am in the conclusion that OSMers are a subversive bunch!
Garmin eTrex manual: Do not attempt to use the eTrex for any purpose requiring precise measurement of direction, distance, location, or topography OSMer: Why not? We use it for mapping roads, landuse, trees, etc. We even use it for "micro mapping". Government/Geo-corporate tards: Only WE can create, maintain, distribute geodata. You pay/give tax to get data. OSMer: Heck, I have a bike, I'll make my own data. OGC tards: Geodata should conform to a xxxx pages of specification. OSMer: Heh! I'll map it my way. I'll tag it my way. Render it my way! cheers, maning categories: fun, OSM _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/talk
