Google maps on the web and on mobile has become such a miserably bad experience that I hope OSM wins big. Google's data is not bad, but the apps are awful.

- cthulhujr 11y agoJust noticed OSM has overhead power lines on their maps. A quick search reveals GM either doesn't have that data or doesn't have any way of displaying it. +1 for OSM in my book.
- jarek 11y agoYou can add just about anything on OSM (http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Category:En_key_descriptions http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Category:En_key_descripti...), so the only limit is what people actually map :) (and sometimes what the community decides, e.g. adding things that can't be seen anymore, like old tram lines, is generally frowned upon in main OSM and requested for something like Open Historical Map instead)
- lnanek2 11y agoYeah, user experience on Google Maps app has been atrocious recently. I especially hate when I search and get cards when I want a map with placemarks on it, then try to get to the map and it forgets my search. Some designer sure went all out making it pretty, but they took out most of the functionality.
