[OSM-talk-be] MissingMaps National

[Sander Deryckere]

Metro also uses Belga as source, and also mentions Google Earth, though
this article does mention OSM too.

So it looks like De Zondag abbreviated the message from Belga a bit, and
left out the lesser known name "OSM", in favour of keeping the name Google
Earth.
