> but in Germany it sucks
That's funny. A German client of mine specifically asked me to put an OpenStreetMap map right next to the Google Map because the details of OpenStreetMap were more precise. The client creates POI geo coordinates and uses the maps to find the best position for a poi.
- ugh 15y agoI don't know what's going on there. OSM does have lots of detail for Germany and the problems with OSM are more general ones with the consistency of label placement and such. No map breaking stuff. Apple's tiles, however have more glaring mistakes (double labels, missing labels).
- trin_ 15y agoits missing detail? at least in my city its much more detailed than gmaps
- ugh 15y agoOSM or Apple's maps? OSM has crazy amounts of accurate detail for all cities I know in Germany. Apple's tiles have all the streets but not a lot of detail (probably by choice, nothing wrong with a sparser map, especially for the intended purpose) and the labels suck.
- trin_ 15y agoi meant osm. sorry for the misunderstanding.
- megablast 15y agoIt would be very helpful in this situation to actually mention your city? Promise we will not come after you.

- simonw 15y agoIt sounds like you're complaining about the quality of the OSM renderer, not the underlying data. There are a bunch of different renderers out there that can use OSM data - maybe one of the others would help?
