Open Street Map
I learn about something new every day! Let me share today's discovery
with you:- https://www.openstreetmap.org/about OpenStreetMap powers map data on thousands of web sites, mobile apps, and hardware devices OpenStreetMap is built by a community of mappers that contribute and maintain data about roads, trails, cafés, railway stations, and much more, all over the world. Local Knowledge OpenStreetMap emphasises local knowledge. Contributors use aerial imagery, GPS devices, and low-tech field maps to verify that OSM is accurate and up to date. Community Driven OpenStreetMap's community is diverse, passionate, and growing every day. Our contributors include enthusiast mappers, GIS professionals, engineers running the OSM servers, humanitarians mapping disaster-affected areas, and many more. To learn more about the community, see the OpenStreetMap Blog, user diaries, community blogs, and the OSM Foundation website. Open Data OpenStreetMap is open data: you are free to use it for any purpose as long as you credit OpenStreetMap and its contributors. If you alter or build upon the data in certain ways, you may distribute the result only under the same licence. See the Copyright and Licence page for details. |

(I know) ....can you tell me more about how you do that Why don't you look it up and tell us what you learned? IN YOUR OWN WORDS. If you have trouble focusing on some of the words, ask. No links necessary. And please, if you must talk to yourself, don't do it on Usenet. --------------- BD: I want people to "get to know me better. I have nothing to hide". I'm always here to help, this page was put up at BD's request, rather, he said "Do it *NOW*!": http://tekrider.net/pages/david-brooks-stalker.php 60 confirmed #FAKE_NYMS, most used in cybercrimes!
