Good news! Competition is good! Geographical maps are so important!
Joseph Schumpeter: "Creative Destruction is the essential fact about capitalism."
"Overture Maps Foundation (OMF) is a cooperative effort founded in December 2022 by Amazon Web Services (AWS), Meta, Microsoft and TomTom to provide high-quality geolocation data and mapping for use in the various companies’ apps and other enterprises, too. This allows them to break free of Google Maps’ API charges and also to create a new dataset that they can control, rivaling the volunteer, crowdsourced OpenStreetMap, from which they have drawn some of their underlying map data."
