I see. I misunderstood that all of it depended on OSM. I thought that OSM would have been one of the possible data providers. Doesn't this kind of reduce the efficacy of it being P2P? If the goal is to reduce the load on OSM's servers, I suppose it makes sense, but from the standpoint of a free web, it doesn't seem to add much. > Peermaps is a distributed, offline-friendly alternative to commercial map providers such as google maps. Instead of fetching data from a centralized tile service, your computer fetches map data from other peers across the network. I think the wording is what confused me. It would be more descriptive to say "Instead of fetching data from a centralized tile service, your computer fetches OpenStreetMap data from other peers across the network". OSM is still centralized.
