We use OpenStreetMap as a base map and then combine our technology, 3rd party data sources & 100s billions of points of GPS probe data, to create navigation-quality maps of the planet.
OpenStreetMap has a community of 4 million members and each day thousands of volunteers enhance the map by adding new roads, buildings, and parks — everything that matters for cities and towns across the globe.
Feature set rich and with a growing contributor community. Commercial alternatives are expensive and less up-to-date. But OSM is also too flexible (anybody can map anything with their own Tags), not hierarchical with poor network classification, incomplete (lacking geocode, poor Address Points, POI, etc), without formal quality assurance and hard to integrate with other data sources. Therefore, OSM has significant issues and cannot be used as-is for good quality navigation.
