separate map tools from map data so that<br />
all the tools can operate on all the data<br />
sources. This separation breaks the<br />
proprietary silos that earlier GIS<br />
<strong>revolution</strong>s have taught civilization to<br />
avoid.<br />

….. the default OSM mapnik style is still the<br />
finest most widely deployed online cartography<br />
Alex McKee adding a comment to: http://vimeo.com/5609679<br />
The quality of internet mapping will have to<br />
improve. There are signs that this is already<br />
happening - <strong>OpenStreetMap</strong>, f<strong>or</strong> example<br />

OSM look so good, it<br />

“We believe that open source is ultimately the future f<strong>or</strong> AOL’s local<br />
and mapping applications. And we’re very excited about supp<strong>or</strong>ting<br />
<strong>OpenStreetMap</strong>, which powers the maps behind Patch, our local news<br />
and inf<strong>or</strong>mation platf<strong>or</strong>m. We believe community generated maps that<br />
are of high quality and accuracy will end up ultimately being the better<br />
mapping product f<strong>or</strong> users. Allowing users to improve the areas they<br />
know and care about like streets in their neighb<strong>or</strong>hood, in addition to<br />
hiking trails, parks and bike paths, we believe will lead to the best<br />
mapping experience f<strong>or</strong> all users.”<br />
