I live in South Africa and I haven't found a place (yet) that isn't perfectly mapped. I checked various far-flung African countries for a customer who was looking to move from Google Maps and they all seemed fine. So, the map does 'work' for me, just not in the U.S. This chicken and egg isn't going to spring out fully formed, so either U.S. mappers get out there, or this situation will continue. Obviously developers won't start driving around in cars to map things out, but I wonder why the map-oriented communities haven't supported OSM? And surely map-oriented developers could start an initiative to highlight less-well mapped areas? Now if only I could use Twilio and Google Payments here. We can't even buy music from iTunes, despite everyone having iPods and iPhones for almost as long as they've been around, and Apple stores in most major malls.
