    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).
