[OSM-talk] What use is OpenStreetMap?

[joost schouppe]

John, might be worth pointing them to
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OpenStreetMap_for_Government, which
collects some more advanced use cases by governments (often local).

I don't think it's mentioned there, but this is an example that is about as
awesome as it gets :

About how you can make a routing system adapted to fire services with osm.
Unfortunately in Dutch, maybe there are similar examples around.
