> Google Maps has the data from 2011 on their maps, missing entire streets that have been added since. I assume that's the one north-east of the city center (Google wants to send me to Ottendorf first). Hm, comparing Google Maps to Here maps, the two look pretty identical - here maps has a few more footpaths. Openstreetmap seems to agree. > Actually, all that data is publicly available online, and the transit authority has a public REST API. Just not in the format Google demands. Yeah, I wish. This is a highly shattered provider landscape, some provide no data at all (HNV), some provide some data (MVV), some provide data in an usable format against cash (Bahn after a certain, very low limit) ... some of it is real-time while other is "probably as good as a guess".

Hm, comparing Google Maps to Here maps, the two look pretty identical - here maps has a few more footpaths. Openstreetmap seems to agree. A very important part there is a tiny change where a major road was closed off, and due to the Google Maps fault, hundreds of people, including police, and money transporters, got stuck there over the years. Thanks to a lot of complaints, that tiny part got finally fixed last year, but the missing roads around that are still unchanged.
