[OSM-talk-be] IGN/NGI/NGI/NGI too now using OpenStreetMap

[joost schouppe]

Hi André, Nicolas,

I would be interested in hearing what they have to say too. The NGI road
data might be very interesting for us too, if only to check for missing
roads in our map (especially the "slow roads" still need work in Belgium).

Sorry about the late response, and thanks for bumping this, André.
