Could someone clarify using a service like OSM or Google Maps vs. using their data for map tiles?
After the announcement I read tweets that basically said Apple was still using the Google Maps service, but the tiles were rendered by Apple?
Based on what I'm reading it sounds like I misunderstood or am misremembering what I read.
- rmc 15y agoSome of Apple's software is still using Google Maps. Some is use tiles that Apple render and host, but based on OpenStreetMap data. Basically 2 years ago someone download the OSM data base (you can get it here http://planet.openstreetmap.org/ http://planet.openstreetmap.org/ ), and then they made up their own style.
