    Data Sources and Their Currency

    Data for the Czech Republic are completely created and managed by the cartographic editors of Mapy.com, while the rest of the world comes from OpenStreetMap. The cartographic editors strive to keep the map continuously updated; however, it may happen that the map does not reflect the real condition in the field. Discrepancies/feedback can be reported via feedback.

      So Blaze are you saying mapy is good? Because I have my thumb on the buy button ready to support the European movement.

        Ir is awesome! But dont buy it. Try it for free and see if you like it first. I’ve been using them for many years (without paying anything) and wouldn’t use anything else. (From the other map apps I tried osm, organic maps, and google.)

        Regular OSM doesn’t have elevation data as well as many other info that mapy does provide. And the map visualisation is much better than any competitor IMO, especially for hiking maps.

          I’m not blaming you but whose fault is that? Add that shit to OSM! Don’t work for the assholes coasting off of FOSS labour of other people, subvert them!

            Mapy is a financial supporter of OSM, which isn’t free to develop btw. So they’re not leeching of FOSS labour, they’re helping to make it possible.

                No, OSM is free for everyone, doesn’t matter if you make profit off of it or not, so they don’t have to pay for anything. They’re choosing to support OSM to help it improve (which is also in their own benefit).
