You're probably right. They would only be infringing your trademark if they were doing business in the same category of goods and services. What they're doing sounds much more like some kind of defamation than any kind of trademark infringement. But if they're criminals they probably don't care much about the possibility of a civil action.
Google Maps are rubbish. In my experience they don't even show streets in the right place. When you're ordering something you can always write in the "delivery instructions" something like: "Don't use Google; try openstreetmap.org instead." Then, if they turn up an hour late somewhat grumpy: "I did warn you!"

- nerdponx 6y agoBetter to spend that time contributing to OSM, no?
- viraptor 6y agoI'm doing both. It's not an exclusive choice.
- jimktrains2 6y agoIt's not a data problem, they just literally do not display street names sometimes, even when it's the only road on the screen.
- Avamander 6y agoThat's not "map editing", it's some half-assed attempt that at best allows you to modify some minor details of map listings. It is absolutely pathetic compared to the features of OSM map editor and the map editor GMaps had. You can't even now enter a place's name in three local languages for f* sake.
- _0ffh 6y agoThe occasions when GMaps tries to send you up or down a steep, long flight of stairs on you bike are also annoying.
- Avamander 6y ago> Google Maps are rubbish It's IMHO because no longer can users properly edit maps. It's now only poor crowdsourced+automagical judgement of minor changes. There's a post office closed for a year or so now that literally can't be removed, Google thinks it's correct and edits get autorejected. It's incredibly stupid.
