Thanks. In which case I think saying Mapzen is "backed by" Samsung is a bit of a weird way to put it. Mapzen is a division of Samsung, they're in that Venn diagram. I don't think it makes much sense to say that you back something that you own.
What the hell is with putting "zen" at the end of everything. Samsung should really be taking up praying whilst kissing their own arses goodbye instead.
That is because they plan to rebrand the company as Sam-zen-g at some point!

Samsung's continued knee-jerk reaction to anything that Apple does never ceases to amuse.
