Mapquest using OpenStreetMap

When I visit that page it tells me "OpenStreetMap powered by mapquest". Shouldn't that kind of be the other way around? I mean, in this case, mapquest is using the maps from Open Street Map, so IMHO, I'd say that OSM is powering Mapquest here.<p>Not that it matters much.<p>I <i>do</i> love Open Street Map though, also because it's so easy to contribute. I could very easily improve the map around where I live. One particular street for example has been closed off two years ago and OSM is <i>still</i> the only map that gets it right.

The labels are so crazy, how can Elizabeth be shown instead of New York?

This could be really useful. My university campus for example, is shown in much greater detail on OSM.

It would be great to have all the biking or hiking trails on the map.<p>I went mountain biking a few months ago and the maps were hand drawn on a piece of paper. It was embarrassing when I got lost.

Has some serious issues updating tiles. When I zoom in all the way, it's totally hit or miss if I get image or grey gears.

Open... and wrong. It thinks my address in in a city 60 miles away.

The easy interface to map-data editing is quite nice.
