Hi,
I've not been involved in the OU website myself, but I know a few
people who are...
Apparently it was mostly down to organisational reasons - we
reluctantly changed it on their behalf, as two members of OUCS staff
had invested time in the OXPOINTS project and wanted to put it to
use: http://www.oucs.ox.ac.uk/oxpoints/
As a secondary reason, there were reports that OSM "felt slower" than
Google - whatever that might mean.
