I imagine certain features like Google Maps’ different busyness indicators might be missing because otherwise that would require telemetry?

My house doesn’t even exist on OpenStreetMap, so I don’t have much faith in it

Then you can map it and add it to the map with a free account and some “proof”, unlike Google Maps where the main road to my colleague and his four neighbours houses still isn’t on Google Maps after almost a year of reporting. The road is almost a year old but my colleague still can’t get deliveries to his house.

Try it out! The mapping community on OpenStreetMap is often very helpful and open to new people.

All software and services has bugs and missing features, Google maps as well.

The difference here is that the user is actually able to fix these missing details on the maps themselves if they want. Or ask the local mapping team for help.

Have you ever tried to correct anything on Google maps?
