It's funny Maps has become so crap that I paid 10 euro for OSM.

But I think open street maps has a killer feature that Google doesn't have: the community.



Except of course that Google can just freely use the OSM data anyway.


Maybe. They have (or have as of 10 years ago when I signed up) a checkmark for I consider this public domain. If you don't check that OSM cannot freely use the data. I only edit OSM so that people can find my house, so I consider it a feature that google can freely use my changes, but not everyone agrees.


It's not a killer feature if you only use it because Google got crappy.
