- 0x006A 13y agoThey use cartography from Navteq, a Chicago-based Nokia subsidiary. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Navteq https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Navteq
- k_bx 13y agoOh, didn't know that. In russian version they did very user-friendly editor for their maps called "People's map" and they already show it in their mobile apps. Of course, from licensing perspective, OSM is much better.
- hnha 13y agocartography usually means the look and.style of a map. I think you mean the data (or geodata or however one wants to call it).
- mseebach 13y agoThe relevancy of that depends on what the motivation for declaring OSM the only non-US map. If it's with reference to NSA (one can only guess, but that seems to be in line with the times), that you won't get tracked, it's irrelevant where the map was made, as long as the map servers are operated outside the US.
- muyuu 13y agoSame as Nokia, their cartography is based on Navteq (US).
- tellarin 13y agoNavteq is part of Nokia. And Nokia Here [1], their maps service (used by MS, Yandex, etc), is actually mostly divided between offices in Germany and the US.
