Hey all,

The Wall Street Journal and other news has this breaking news:

Normally I try to refrain from Google bashing, but this is just a matter of
good PR on Google's side.

Our map is a zillion times better than Google Maps:

(left is OpenStreetMap, right is Google Maps)

Maybe we can post something about this on opengeodata.org?


Greets,
