And indeed, Nike is using the Google Maps API themselves for this site. If you want to complain, hit up http://www.gisrael.co.il/ and http://www.goleaddog.com/ who apparently are the providers for Google Maps data for Israel.<br /><br />How's the running? I just started a few months back, and recently ran a 27:03 in the Paramus 5k. I'm shooting for a half marathon in the spring. Weirdest thing, a guy from my HS (I don't think he's a Jew) ended up in Yerushalayim for academic purposes, I think. He posted on his Facebook wall how everybody looked at him weird when he went running...<br /><br />You'll remember me from Agudas Achim, aka Ben :)yitznewtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10559815169235725734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7626974447429315601.post-3855311971842431102009-11-01T08:43:11.871+02:002009-11-01T08:43:11.871+02:00Yitz,

My question is, if the information is available, then it's just a question of whether Nike wants to pay for it, isn't it? The data is there - it's just got to be licensed. Why then would Nike license the data for Lebanon, but not Israel?Reuven Spolterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03140606911685229164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7626974447429315601.post-9645545032064472122009-11-01T02:08:24.919+02:002009-11-01T02:08:24.919+02:00Hi Rabbi Spolter,

I suspect a similar issue here.yitznewtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10559815169235725734noreply@blogger.com
