TPM is reporting that Craigslist is embedding maps on its housing adverts from crowdsourced mapping site, OpenStreetMap. While the listings-site isn't boasting of the change, it's the fourth major name to dump Google's service after Foursquare, Wikipedia Mobile and Apple. While Mountain View has cut the cost of accessing its Maps API, it looks like budget-conscious corporations may be looking elsewhere.
Craigslist quietly switching to OpenStreetMap data originally appeared on Engadget on Tue, 28 Aug 2012 12:58:00 EDT. Please see our terms for use of feeds.
