[talk-au] Usage of Openstreetmap at EMSINA

[Michael Collinson]

Graeme,
You are one with Steve Coast on seeing that as a major focus.

Yes, use and of use.  Anecdotally, I have a peripheral connection with a 
small commercial app map/routing library and have hobby-business apps 
Android apps based on it. Yes, definitely of use particularly on longer 
roads ... which bit do I want to aim for? Either by visual indication or 
by searching then routing.
