Some of the tools and apis mentioned are now out of date, though most of it is still relevant.

Неплохая книга для тех, кто хочет начать сам картографировать местность и развивать OSM. Я как-то ожидал больше технических подробностей о текущем состоянии и истории проекта, но достаточно было заглянуть в оглавление, чтобы понять, что этого там нету. Сам себе злой буратино %)
