TomTom Flames OpenStreetMap

Posted by Unknown on Monday May 28, 2012 @07:03PM from the you-might-die dept.

An anonymous reader writes "TomTom Navigation has a recently launched article on what they call the 'negative aspects' of open data projects such as OpenStreetMap. As there are no hard facts and details to the studies they refer, the OSM community identified this release as classic 'Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt.'"

Dude, you're seriously worried about 10 km/h? What is that, 2 mph difference? Silly metric-trolls can't use units that correspond to real-life values in a silly effort to "standardize". And if you don't understand what real-life value a mile per hour corresponds to you deserve to be confused like the metric-troll you are.
