Comment on Is Openstreetmap unusable in some places? And very usable in others?

It’s going to be difficult to make a statement about the entire world but I would disagree with the statement that OSM is worse than Google in the USA. At least not in the places I have been.
Google’s advantage has always been its imagery and routing algorithm. But in terms of the actual map information, OSM is much superior. So I have no idea what this person was talking about. You might need to ask them. The USA is a big place so it’s possible somewhere OSM has poor coverage.
Hm that’s good to hear.
They said they’d been routed over a road that had been closed for a long time. Not specifying “long time”. Somebody else talked about the nearest hospital actually not existing anymore but I think they were just hypothesizing.
