This is consistent with what they say on their own blog (which is now down):

    "Who else has helped us? The project was made possible by using
the street data from OpenStreetMap, combined with Google Maps, API
tastic!"

>From that comment it looks like they're using OSM vector data on the
backend to get street outlines and Google's map tiles on top of them.
