Consumer Ready? It is about 8 years behind in my neighborhood. My street doesn't exist and it there in 2006. Google has a street view of it and has been able to find my address since 2007.

> It is about 8 years behind in my neighborhood. Like I replied to the poster up-page; it's eight years behind because you haven't gone and added that data. Jump to it!

  Why don't you add it?

    Because he is not the one interested in that piece. If everyone in this thread adds the piece they can't find it will populate really fast... And what's more... It'll be EVERYONE's. Not Google's or Microsoft's or X's company imposing THEIR terms.

      Of the two of them, it looks to me like dingaling is far more interested in getting this added to OSM.

  OSM is perfect for everything! Well, OK, it (still) isn't there yet... but it would be if everyone would only donate large amounts of manual labor to reproduce data which is probably available somewhere else, and just isn't allowed to be imported because of OSM policies against automation

    Was some import from you "rejected" or why are you so aggressive? There are no rules against automation. There are just guidelines for not screwing up imports. You can import lots of data perfectly fine if the license allows it and you invest time into making it work flawlessly.

  Like I said - consumer ready? I do not think that word means what you think it means. A consumer consumes. Assume this consumer isn't me and they want to visit my house and can't find a street that is 8 years old - they will be cursing their "consumer ready" map and use something else. They won't show up late to my house and ask me why I haven't added my neighborhood to some map they use that I haven't heard of. If there is some milestone for the project I'm happy for ya, but "Go map your neighborhood" isn't "Consumer Ready".

Well, I'm living in a new built area. Google still hasn't any data for that while OSM does. So much for anecdotal evidence.
