From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Yup!
I have switched from Google Maps to Here we go for years now and been loving it
Sorry, but HERE-maps does not use OSM data. They list their sources here: https://legal.here.com/en-gb/terms/general-content-supplier-terms-and-notices
You're right - could have sworn that they used it. NIffy website i did just found was https://osm-apps.zottelig.ch/ that points out the different variety of OSM. On a side note, I have switched over to /e/OS on my main cellphone and it uses Magic Earth, which def uses OSM.
Thanks for the clarify check -
Does Here use OSM data?
I heard bing maps is moving to using OSM data for their map products.
