OSM is generally richer in term of what can be documented. For example, you can describe a bench, how many seat it has, what color is it, is it in metal, wood or stone, and so on. This is not necessarily displayed on osm.org, but could be on a more specialized app using osm dataset.
For example compare the two following areas :
https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=17/41.88846/12.49110 https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=17/41.88846/12.49110
https://www.google.com/maps/@41.8884227,12.4916715,17.54z https://www.google.com/maps/@41.8884227,12.4916715,17.54z
Google Maps is lacking some details inside the park, you don't have any path, fence, grass, water tap, bench or bin.
The issue for OSM is that some less popular areas are totally barren.
- kqr 8y agoAlso note that the osm.org bitmap tiles do not, in general, contain all information OSM has about an area. Things like future roads, hedges, etc. may not be shown.
