[Talk-ca] Google Map Maker now in Canada

[Connors, Bernie (SNB)]

Why would anyone contribute their local mapping knowledge to the closed system of a billion dollar company (Google) when they can support the free and open mapping system of OSM instead?

I did not post the message about Google Map Maker to this list to encourage contributions to Google Maps - just simply to alert OSM users to the news.

Bernie.

Any idea how to upload GPS track log?   Also what's the policy of using OSM data?
