Well, I guess you're really the minority here ;-)

My feeling is that most of the "mapping" people involved in the project 
right now are really depending on what the developers/designers are 
doing. And they are happy with the map results the "major maps" offer.


Personally I would love to see a motorcycle dedicated map - but 
hesitated to start the effort ...
