Hi Richard,

I translated the release into Dutch. It's being scrutinized by my  
Dutch peers today, and I hope we'll be able to send it out to the  
Dutch press later today.

For those who can read Dutch, the draft is here: <http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/WikiProject_Netherlands/PressRelease#Google_Maps_.22zit_ernaast.22_met_bewerkbare_kaart 
 >

Take care,

Martijn
