OSM data is way, way better than Google Maps. The difference in detail is staggering. We've been to 21 states over the last couple of years by RV and Google is wrong about speed limits nearly every day. It had us driving on small, rutted dirt roads that were clearly marked as dirt roads in OSM (that's what actually led me to use OSM more).
Campgrounds were even worse... In Jasper about 90% of the camp trails were on OSM, Google had none. And I took the opportunity to add the rest because OSM is editable by anyone. Google's "ground truth" effort is an abject failure.
