Why don't just use openstreetmap
I mentioned it in the lemdro.id thread but forgot to add it here!
I'd just also make a plug for OpenStreetMap, which is entirely community-driven and based on fully open data.
With that said, OpenStreetMap can be hit and miss in a lot of areas. The aim here looks to be about having something commercial-grade that isn't from Google or TomTom. It would've been nice to see companies get together to support OpenStreetMap though.
OSM is one of the sources for this and apparently the plan is for this dataset to feed back into OSM as well
Are there any apps using the dataset as yet, I don't see any recommended in the article...
