> Does OSM have bike paths? http://www.opencyclemap.org/ http://www.opencyclemap.org/ > Does it have bus routes, train schedules? http://www.öpnvkarte.de/ http://www.öpnvkarte.de/ It has the routes, but no it does not have train schedules. Why? Because OpenStreetMap is just a basic map. It is not supposed to have such information. Someone has to write an app that uses the OSM data and then add the schedules. For example: http://fahrinfo.vbb.de/bin/help.exe/dn?L=vs_mobilitymap&tpl=fullmap&tabApp=show http://fahrinfo.vbb.de/bin/help.exe/dn?L=vs_mobilitymap&tpl=... (enable checkboxes on the right) - OSM Map Data combined with data from the transport assoziation Btw. I guess you are from the US? Because good luck finding those schedules in Google Maps outside the US. Germany for example only has trains. No Buse and Tram data.

Bus and Tram information was added to Google Maps for Berlin sometime in 2013.

Unfortunately, for off road, even though the classification of whether bikes are allowed on a trail can be input, I haven't seen any viewers that show this information. I find it difficult to determine the trail type (single/double track), condition (dirt, pavement), and whether bikes are allowed.

  OSM has classification schemes for tagging mountain bike routes http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Mountainbike http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Mountainbike This might be of interest to you http://openmtbmap.org/ http://openmtbmap.org/

For what it's worth, Google has extremely good public transport data for Perth, Australia, and it worked quite well for bus & train times when I was in Sweden last year (especially Malmö). So it's not just the US. Google's support probably depends in part on the transport authority providing a timely & accurate data feed of their schedules that Google can use.
