<p>Intersting. I wonder if it'd be possible to use these maps in Waze.</p></blockquote><div>I too WAS interested in Waze, until I did a bit of research:<br><br><a href="http://radar.oreilly.com/2009/08/waze-make-your-own-maps-in-rea.html">http://radar.oreilly.com/2009/08/waze-make-your-own-maps-in-rea.html</a><br>
<br>"One of the <a href="http://twitter.com/jrishel/status/3286835212">first questions that many geo geeks</a> ask of Waze is what about whether they could use <a href="http://www.openstreetmap.org/">OpenStreetMap's</a> data. CEO <a href="http://twitter.com/noamb11">Noam Bardin</a>
is wary of the OSMs licensing and would rather start from scratch. Waze
definitely intends commercialize their maps and does not want to have
any issues with that."<br><br><a href="http://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk-il/2009-April/000109.html">http://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk-il/2009-April/000109.html</a><br><br>"In short, the maps are "driver generated" but are not "shared" and definitely not "driver owned".<br>
<br>To me it seems Waze are happy to consume your map data and hard work, but not give it up for free. And Open Street Map due to their staunch CC approach means you can access and remix the data.<br><br>So... I would stear clear of Waze and only use Open Street Maps sources IMHO.<br>
