Does anyone know the source of Google's map data for the UK?
Using the following comparison site [http://sautter.com/map/] I can see much
of the woodland is an exact match for woodland is OSM whose source is OS
vectormap district. So one of the sources is Ordnance Survey.
There are several buildings, eg schools, with accurate outlines, where would
this data have come from?

Cheers
Jason

Google have finally done it: they've switched from TeleAtlas to Google map

Set your stopwatches for the first newspaper story about "man drives off
cliff - '...but Google told me it was a road'!". Some of their choices are,
shall we say, a little heroic.
