I don't want this to turn into a flamewar so first thing is as the
person who sends out the announced emails I will include both Google
Maps and OSM links in the emails.

Personally I feel even though Google Maps software or mapping data is
not open source it's at least accessible from a pretty much every
modern browser and more importantly accessible for people with visual
and reading disorders (i.e. dyslexia).
