Not living in Sochi, the comparison is less convincing for me: http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=17/30.33393/-95.47847 http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=17/30.

Not to mention that searching for "Conroe, TX" and taking the first, correct-sounding result got me ~10 miles south of city limits.
Now, Google has a couple of oddities, here (those two businesses apparently on the median between the freeway and the access road!), but the road data is more accurate and detailed (including street names).
I've done some editing on wikis, but I'm not going to try to jump in and correct that gap.
- rmc 13y agoNot to mention that searching for "Conroe, TX" and taking the first, correct-sounding result got me ~10 miles south of city limits. The search box on the OSM front page uses Nominatim, which also has it's own website. Here's the search results for that: http://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/search.php?q=Conroe%2C+TX&viewbox=-119.54%2C47.7%2C119.54%2C-47.7 http://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/search.php?q=Conroe%2C+TX... You can see the 2 results there http://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/details.php?place_id=42740484 http://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/details.php?place_id=4274... and http://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/details.php?place_id=98157421 http://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/details.php?place_id=9815... There's a "Report Problem" button to help debug issues like this. Feel free to submit a bug! I think Nominatim tries to rank things based on how long their Wikipedia article, the the item to the south (that was at the top), is the one that links to Wikipedia. TBH it looks like bad mapping whoever put that there
