I find it weird that people contribute to Google maps. I use OSM most of the time and contribute whenever I find a path that is missing, but I would never contribute to a closed data silo like Google Maps (at least not without being paid).<p>The very idea that someone <i>owns</i> mapping data seems weird to me. It's the real world, people can just go and see what's there, how can someone claim to own location info?
