When I visit that page it tells me "OpenStreetMap powered by mapquest". Shouldn't that kind of be the other way around? I mean, in this case, mapquest is using the maps from Open Street Map, so IMHO, I'd say that OSM is powering Mapquest here.
Not that it matters much.
I do love Open Street Map though, also because it's so easy to contribute. I could very easily improve the map around where I live. One particular street for example has been closed off two years ago and OSM is still the only map that gets it right.
- teilo 16y agoNo. OpenStreetMap is data. MapQuest is an engine that displays the data.
- caseysoftware 16y agoAlso.. not particularly surprising. MapQuest hired one of OSM's community managers this summer. Good to see collaboration and innovation on top of good data.
