Hi, I started a wiki page of 'MapQuest' and hope that others will contribute to it. http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/MapQuest
The idea is to include a listing of what the top requests are as a 'OSM user Wishlist'. And try to list the FAQ's (we can add in your answers) that way, people wont be asking you the same questions. I have now included a summery of all of the points covered (from the various email lists) As well as indicated that comments should be sent to [email protected] Great work! I look forward to seeing the progression of this site. Panning over to Canada, it's great to see this map rendering :) Cheers, Sam Vekemans Across Canada Trails On 7/13/10, Ant The Limey <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi all > > Just wanted to get out a response to some of the MapQuest questions from the > other day.
