I feel we should all be pressing to Apple to produce an overview of the sources 
of the data on their 'mashup'. My son has a copy and it does seem that you can 
'easily see the joins' between different sources, but identifying what data IS 
attributable to OSM seems difficult? And where other data comes from.

It's more annoying that they will spend millions on 'defending their property' 
but are happy to just take other peoples?
