I would argue that really depends on the subject. Maps are to some extent limited. Yes, they are never 100% up-to-date, but looking at my small village if I had mapped that 10 years ago all I would have had to change up until today would be maybe 15 new homes and 2 new streets a few stores and some small adjustments, but that's pretty much it. On the other hand if I wanted to build a search engine that's a completely different story.
