I think that OpenStreetMap has a bit more information that Google Maps at the same zoom level. To compare on New York: https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=9/40.

(Edit: as the child comments correctly point out, this is only the default OSM rendering style.)
- maxerickson 10y agoKeep in mind that the tiles shown by default on the OpenStreetMap website are just an example rendering. Anyone can take the OpenStreetMap data and use it to render a map with different cartographic choices. There's even several other example renderings that can be easily accessed on the website, for example https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=9/40.5253/-74.2003&layers=C https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=9/40.5253/-74.2003&layers...
- ris 10y agoThe default rendering for OSM might do, many other renderings are available (including your own if you like).
- lucb1e 10y agoIt has a lot more info indeed and I love it. But then here come the users, looking for eye candy over functionality (I've heard this from two people): "ugh that is so ugly look at all this clutter"
