I suspect mentioning OSM (obviously didn't even bother to google the
spelling) was an afterthought after writing 8 pages of copy for
google and being afraid that it might come over as being an ad. <br>
<br>
As to if it gives us too much credit, we haven't cast our net
further than conventional cartographic data at this point in time,
so obviously we are not competing with the entirety of googles
offerings in geo-space. However there where we are, we are doing a
good job, we just shouldn't expect instant gratification, this has
and is going to take time. <br>

Interesting fact to know: Google has over 2,000 paid
armchair mappers in Hyderabad, India.<br>
