[GTALUG] we should use openstreetmap

[Alex Beamish]

Before there was Linux (I know, the dark ages), I remember consulting thick
books, given away free, that were an alphabetical listing all of the people
and businesses in a given area, along with their addresses and phone
numbers. I probably used that technology to get to my first meeting of the
Toronto PC User's Group, held at a school near Bayview and York Mills in
the late 80's.

Good times!
