[OSM-talk] OSM for government

[Oleksiy Muzalyev]

In this video in English about the Russian Trans-Siberian Railway:
https://youtu.be/jRyJiL41Umg?t=3m34s
at 3 minutes 34 seconds a Navigation and Security application of a 
Passenger Train is shown which seems to be based on the OSM. The film 
was produced in 2014, so the town of Khabarovsk (rus. Хабаровск) is 
mapped by now much better.

I am not absolutely sure that it is OpenStreetMap, but the design and 
colors of the map in this application look like the OSM couple of years 
ago. Russian Railway is one of the three largest transport companies in 
the world https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_Railways . It is 
government owned.

Best regards,
Oleksiy
