If the data is not 100% complete and accurate it is useless? Get real. I just tried the Google maps app. on my G1 to get home from work by bike. It was horrible. The app itself is horrible, and the map is bad: bike paths are not there. In contrast, openstreetmap data gets me there by car and bike. The lack of house numbers is annoying though. So it is not door to door, but street to street. And for me that is good enough. And yes, the situation is not as bright in other countries. But I think it is pointless to wait until OSM has 100% perfection everywhere to start using it. Of course lots of people are already using it. Promoting for example openmtbmap over other maps on a Garmin. _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
