OpenStreetMap, Apple’s Mapping Partner For iPhoto, Gets $575K From The Knight Foundation

#SuryaRay #Surya While Apple continues to weather very bad press (and embarrassing photographic evidence) over its fumble on Maps in iOS 6, one of its existing mapping partners is getting a little injection of cash to continue improving its services. Today MapBox, developers of the crowdsourced OpenStreetMap, today announced that it is getting a grant of $575,000 from the Knight Foundation, its third from the group, to help improve the core infrastructure of the product — a boost for open data. http://dlvr.it/2Bk1SY @suryaray
