<div class="moz-cite-prefix">The city of Stockholm built an
interactive public transportation map on the basis of OSM:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://sl.se/en/">https://sl.se/en/</a> . People can see still at home when their bus is
arriving at the stop. <br>

<div class="moz-cite-prefix">The city of Odessa created the similar
public transportation map but on the basis of a commercial map:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://transport.odessa.ua/">http://transport.odessa.ua/</a> . It was extremely useful
web-application, one could see how the trams' geo-markers were
moving on the map. The web-application became very popular, and
the commercial map underneath stopped working normally for some,
probably also commercial, reason. <br>

<div class="moz-cite-prefix">A big separate topic is e-commerce
delivery services. A rookie delivery driver may search for an
address in a city in some cases for hours. This excessive driving
could be reduced significantly if a driver could see a delivery
address on the map. It would mean less pollution, accidents,
pavement wear.<br>

<div style="font-size: 12pt;font-family: Verdana;">I got a phone
call from someone who works for a municipality who was passed my
phone number. Basically asking from a municipal government
point of view was there any advantage to the municipality in
having their municipality mapped in detail in OpenStreetMap. <br>
<br>
Off the top of my head businesses etc can provide map of where
they are located without payment and list their web sites and
phone numbers etc.<br>
<br>
Is there a web page somewhere that covers this?<br>
<br>
It is quite a serious question and I suspect will be used to
justify some expenditure and effort to help enrich the map.<br>
<br>
Thanks John<br>
