Yap, I really do like this ;)

One thing I just noticed:
http://www.flickr.com/map?&fLat=49.9993&fLon=9.0702&zl=1&order_by=interestingness
Since when is my street (Anne-Frank-Straße) correct in Navteq (and 
partly in Teleatlas)? (compare: 
http://geo.topf.org/comparison/index.html?mt0=googlemap&mt1=mapnik&lon=9.0705496&lat=49.999133&z=17)

And: since when does Navteq have our McDonalds? (and why does it look 
exactly the same as in OSM?):
http://www.flickr.com/map?&fLat=49.9939&fLon=9.0707&zl=1&order_by=interestingness
(compare: 
http://geo.topf.org/comparison/index.html?mt0=googlemap&mt1=mapnik&lon=9.0715581&lat=49.9946776&z=17)

Either Navteq re-surveyed my town or they just copied..... (Well, I 
didn't say anything)

By the way: How can WE as a project find out when someone uses our data 
and publishes them without contribution? I mean in commercial maps you 
have these little known mistakes but we try to avoid them so we can't 
just say: "You have this mistake in your map so you copied from us".
