I thought Pokemon used Google Maps like its predecessor, Ingress?

  If I remember correctly, at first Pokemon Go used Google Maps to display the actual map, but it still used OSM data for the spawning algorithm. Later on they made the switch to only use OSM.

    Interesting, thanks for clarifying!

    The changes to Google maps api pricing made it entirely unsuitable for a whole lot of apps.

      I do recall when that happened all of the complaints, madness from Google, but that's entirely their MO I suppose.
