[OSM-talk] Bad (wrong?) OSM publicity?

[Vladimir Vyskocil]

Here in France, we can read similar complains about  poor quality Apple's iOS6 map data coming from OSM ! 
A lot of people are convinced that the bad state of the Apple data is related to the usage of source like OSM...
But it seems that Apple is using very few, perhaps nothing from OSM for the french area, even more, if they have used OSM data the quality of their maps would have increased !
