FYI, Pokemon GO now uses OSM not only to generate spawns, but also to display the in-game map. The news broke out on the web, especially on sites like Reddit.
There is a spike of new users in some countries, like Brazil and USA. Thankfully, the Reddit community [1] discourages people from adding bogus features, but obviously nobody can be stopped from doing it. So do watch for fake parks drawn for the purpose of influencing Pokemon spawn rate [2] Also look out for people who delete house driveways. The map style in PoGO overemphasizes them. So some may do "tagging for the game" ;) [1] https://www.reddit.com/r/TheSilphRoad/comments/7gtvcz/reminder_now_that_ingame_map_is_from_osm_you_can/ [2] To look at all new parks: http://overpass-turbo.eu/s/tte
