files that contain user-provided<br>
latitude and longitude locations across the world. Our users
provided<br>
these exact locations to us so that they could be mapped
correctly on<br>
our MapQuest maps.<br>
<br>
There are currently three (3) main files - one for the
United States,<br>
one for Canada and one for Europe. More information can be
found on<br>
our wiki page: <a moz-do-not-send="true"

<br>
We didn't want to just import these addresses directly into
OSM, but<br>
wanted them to be available to anyone that wanted to have
them. To be<br>
clear:<br>
<br>
1. these addresses are user provided<br>
2. there is a high degree of ground-truth from these users<br>
3. they WANTED to be in the data and be correctly mapped<br>
4. we've checked with our lawyers, and yes, you can have
them - UNENCUMBERED!<br>
<br>
Cheers!<br>
