OSM is a great map service. I've added so many streets, buildings, etc. to the area around me, I see it getting better every single day, and contributing to and opensource map project is fun, too!
Google API has recently started charging an arm and a leg for their services. I’ve used OSM before and am glad it’s still around. I am working on a new project to help grow OSM with the help of the users. I’m excited to be able to help grow a project that has been around for so long and just keeps growing! Keep up the amazing work and I’ll do my best to improve OSM along the way.
Best privacy-focused open-source maps available online, period.
Free, Open Source, and has a lot of information not on any other map service.
The Wikipedia of maps: just have access to the planet and help other people to use this Free Open Source project, on which are based many apps now.
A solid, alternative to Google Maps where users can contribute and that respects privacy as well.
A downside is that a lot of places aren't being mapped out; this could be down to the fact that adding new places / buildings is not as user friendly as it could be. It will get there eventually, for sure.
It's fun to edit/add places, especially do it with people within your local community.
OSM is great map service, it saved me a lot of searching for places!
