[talk-au] ABC article - Google Maps in Eromanga

[Charles Gregory]

Thanks for the background info everyone and especially Bob for the
dedication to capturing the data!

After my initial email I took note of a mention of a specific business -
see statement in the article by Casey Owen - I planned to add her cafe on
OSM but couldn't find a single bit of information about it online - free or
otherwise - there wasn't even a pin on Google Maps, so I question how she
thought Google was responsible for promoting her business when she had done
nothing herself.

Anyway - I will check through the Mapillary images - thanks Bob!

Regards,
Charles
