A couple of weeks ago I wrote about the use of OpenStreetMap in The London Cycling Guide and specifically about the lack of proper credit for the project and its contibutors.
Well I’m delighted to say that today a representative of the publishers posted a comment on that piece apologising and explaining what they’re doing to correct things and to make sure it doesn’t happen in the future.
So I think that’s a belated “Well Done” to New Holland Publishers.

As a London OpenStreetMapper I just really love seeing these maps printed in glossy colour. I might buy a book even though I’m not a cyclist!
just wanted to say hooray to New Holland Publishers. the book is a great example of osm usage, and having the publisher work with data provider – in this case osm – is wonderful.
