> I love OSS products, especially OpenStreetMap, but I have a hard time believing it could be better than the big players. Apple and Google both use OSM data as well, but supplement it with massive internal mapping efforts. Apple Maps doesn't even support bike directions. I live in Copenhagen, therefore making Apple Maps pretty useless. It's a classic Silicon Valley app made for the tech boomers in charge at Apple who presumably drive everywhere in electric cars. Google Maps is better at bike directions, but when I use it for public transportation it's now trying to sell me on routes where I need to rent an e-scooter instead. I only use public transportation (as opposed to riding a bike) when I need to bring our baby somewhere with me. Since there is no way to turn this "feature" off, the directions are often useless to me. I now use a Danish app for all public transportation directions. Just about the only thing Google Maps is clearly better at is satellite images and open/close times for shops.
