    Yeah, there's a big U.S./European difference here. In many European cities, OSM has better business listings than Google. OSM is especially better about not continuing to list restaurants that closed 3 years ago, as Google likes to do. But in the U.S., Google is much better. The UK is maybe the best case for OSM, unsurprisingly since it started there and has the most concentrated community there.

France, Denmark, the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Austria, and Switzerland are also very well covered.
