I didn't know they were linking to <a href="http://osm.org">osm.org</a> right now. Although they clearly mention under the picture, that this is just one of the possible renderings. Just like the Germans do. Both sites do not prominently show a large map on the home page, so people learn from day one that OSM is not the map on <a href="http://osm.org">osm.org</a></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">IMHO we should focus on the richness of the OSM map & app ecosystem, not one rendering which lacks features compared to Google maps. We look like a poor rip off that way. People should know from the moment they contribute that they map for the cool webapp their wife is using, the website their grandmother is visiting, the maps that are printed for humanitarian help organisations, etc. And that they can easily check some of their mapped features on a map, is just a nice bonus.</div><div class="gmail_extra"><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">regards</div><div class="gmail_extra"><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">m</div><div class="gmail_extra"><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">regards</div><div class="gmail_extra"><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">m</div></div>
