Months behind is not fair. Apps like Komoot, OSMAnd or CoMaps have monthly refresh cycles. Others are shorter and yes there are longer (mostly obscure) update cycles such as apple maps, Uber, https://transportnsw.info/ https://transportnsw.info/
- mayneack 6d agoIn my experience, the bigger the app, the longer the update cycle. They likely have a QA and integration process to deal with how osm combines with other sources. Something like osmand is basically just an osm wrapper, so they can be fast.

- technothrasher 6d agoI don't know what the heck map data Uber uses, but it always sends cars to a road behind my house which would require them to drive through a swamp and then up a heavily wooded hill to get here. OSM had the exact same issue, but I fixed it a couple years ago and it propagated just fine to the various OSM nav apps a long time ago. Neither Google nor Apple maps ever had the issue. But now DoorDash, which never before had an issue, last night attempted to send the driver up a gas line easement to get here. No idea what that's about. The entire issue appears to be that I'm on a long shared driveway and the various nav systems are afraid of it.
