And the local community keeps locations up to date

Seen big cities that are great in mapping every flower pot, but have restaurants and shops that don’t exist for over half a decade

Even when they are up to date the search blows.

  For me it works perfectly. Try out Organic Maps then?

    Might be worth looking deeper into it though, in why the forkers hate the dev.

The only difference between these maps and their data is the effort by the community to update it. Google doesn’t pay people to update places, they entice them with points and advertising. Google and Apple maps would be no different from OSM if no one updated them

  sure. doesn’t change the problem, though
  
  (if more people used Street Complete, it would make the problem a lot better, though)
