In almost every other country in the world map data is FREELEY available for use by the citizens of the country , Why is it then that mapping data in the uk an SUPPOSED FREE country is so UNOBTAINABLE with out paying LARGE AMMOUNTS OF MONEY .

If someone wanted to build an alternative to the M$ Corps ripoff Autoroute on Linux based Platform we are unable to because of the excessive costs nailed on us by the Ordinacne Survey and Government it is an ABSOLUTE TOTAL FARCE
and needs to be stopped pronto
