They were sued and California courts ruled that costs can only cover the cost of distribution. And really for digital data the cost of distribution is nearly zero. At the time this was going on I surveyed the terra nullius of new suburban subdivisions in Santa Clara and thought it a damn shame these data sources should disappear.

For sure I know they have neighborhoods in London. You might also try the team behind Tagzania .. they are a development team based in the Basque country, map savvy, and might have some specific pointers for Bilbao. tagzania [at] gmail.com Hi Jim,

I am doing some urban mapping and need info on the seperation of cities/neighborhoods in Europe. As of right now I am mapping Bilbao Spain - any sugestions? Other than using google earth. Good day,

This unsustainable mode of development is generally considered detrimental to open space, consumed by low density housing, energy resources, squandered on car dominated transportation, and community, split apart by satellite dishes and 6 lane roads. But what is bad for the environment is still brilliant for OpenStreetMap!
