[OSM-talk] Evernote Atlas for Windows using OSM

Thought you might like to know: the beta version of the new Evernote 
client for Windows which came out this week appears to use OpenStreetMap 
maps for its geolocation of notes (the Atlas section, where it pins 
notes to the locations where they were created). I don't recognise the 
tiles (maybe they made their own, but I doubt it).

For those that aren't familiar with it, Evernote is a very prominent 
cloud service for storing and indexing notes and attachments. Curiously 
they use a whole range of maps - the iOS client uses Apple maps, the web 
client uses Google. I don't know whether they are planning on moving all 
their clients to OSM.

(The Beta doesn't acknowledge OSM, but I pointed this out to them and 
they have said they will add attribution properly; I don't know when 
they plan to make this the supported release, but anyone can install it 
currently).
