With points of interest being hit or miss in areas I was wondering if anyone knew of places that contributed to openstreet maps as matter of public policy. Any examples?

In the EU and UK, public bodies contribute to mapping data by publishing large amounts of geospatial data using interoperable standards that can be commercially exploited.
This is set in the EU through the INSPIRE Directive, and while the UK is now off doing their own thing, they still use the same standards.

That’s great to know! I will have to do some digging to see if the US has some equivalents. Are there any orgs that take that data full time and upload it to openstreet maps?
