Oh look! If you check out Manchester United's training facility on maps and zoom in, you can see some people training on the pitches and setups for other training drills.

“[…] a new participant has entered the ecosystem with parasitic intents. It tries to capture away precisely what makes strong: the contributors.”

I’ve only used Open Street Maps in a tertiary way, through .me, but it is an invaluable community-driven project. As @siegi mentions, “embrace; extend; extinguish” is classic , I’m appalled that they are still at it.

Bei Microsoft versucht man derweil vergeblich, mit dem Tempo der -Bagger mitzuhalten.

I wish interactive maps (Google, Bing, and Here) could easily pull in extra data, like bridge numbers and lock numbers on canals, weirs on navigable rivers, and water levels—similar to traffic density.

I wish "street view" cameras went more places that cars and bikes can't – including under bridges, through canal tunnels, over dams and weirs.

Is this data not collected because these edge-case interests are too hard to monetize?
