Cloudmade - enda en karttjeneste med API

Cloudmade er en relativt ny sak som tilbyr, ja, karttjenester også med API tilgang. Vet ikke om de er såå revolusjonerende eller ei, men verdt å følge med på.

Fra cloudmade.com

What we believe in

CloudMade's development team all have strong backgrounds within free software and OpenStreetMap communities. We believe in simple, open approaches to problem solving, whether that's open source software or open data. We believe that bottom up works. We don't like complexity for complexity's sake and we think that given the right tools and access to the right data individuals can make enormous accomplishments.

Our aims are to continue the democratization of geo data and to expand access to open geo data by providing universal access to a range of simple yet powerful tools and APIs that allow developers and consumers to realise the full potential of resources like OpenStreetMap.

Ja, også er de ganske giret mot open source:)
