Looks like TeleAtlas is a big supplier of the data. That said, the list is pretty long.

We’ll get to see what kind of mapping product Apple has up it’s sleeve this week. Whatever it is, it will probably be a pretty slick front end. The question mark is where they’re getting local data and other back end stuff. That’s where Foursquare or others could come in as you suggest.

Particularly, with the upcoming launch of Apple’s own maps, Foursquare would be a great source of quality local data, and (potentially) a good start for Apple to create their own advertising platform for local businesses.

Do you agree?
