MapQuest Introduces Open.Mapquest.com
Thu, 2010/12/16 - 13:16 — Satri
The official MapQuest blog introduces open.mapquest.com.
From the announcement: "After the successful launches of 10 open-sourced maps in Europe and Asia in partnership with OpenStreetMap (OSM), MapQuest is proud to launch its U.S. site located at Open.Mapquest.com. [...] Open.Mapquest.com provides the same features as our 10 sites in Europe and Asia, and also debuts a new error-reporting tool (which has been added to all of MapQuest’s open sites). For many, this tool may be their first step in becoming OSM contributors."

Re: MapQuest Introduces Open.Mapquest.com
I've been playing around with it a bit, and I can find it's functions pretty easily. It seems that the data is going back to OSM, but I've got to spend a bit more time with it to comment fully. Fun though.

Beautiful patio umbrellas are my thing, but I can't help but love me some geo mapping.
Re: MapQuest Introduces Open.Mapquest.com
SlashGeo commented on MapQuest launching a site for the US that uses OpenStreetMaps (OSM) and providing its own edit facility.
Hmm, haven't we seen something like this happen before? Doesn't bode well...
