All Points Blog reports that Google is no longer using Tele Atlas data for the United States (they’re using their own map data instead); GPS Review has more to say.

Interesting: while poking around maps of Canada the other day on Google Maps, I found that Winnipeg didn’t have error reporting. Winnipeg doesn’t have Street View either. A connection, methinks.
