The problem is that Google has a review process with a human in the loop for most of the submitted changes (unlike OSM). This makes it easier for them to negotiate relationships with data providers, but it also means a lot of things aren't enacted quickly enough to be useful.
- solardev 3y agoI think having a human in the loop is essential, if only for catching things like my petty vandalism or honest mistakes. Wikipedia has humans in the loop too but doesn't take forever. It's more a matter of transparency and tracking, I think, never knowing what happens to an edit once it's submitted. In most similar user submission systems you at least get status updates if not outright version control and ticket tracking.
