There are a few power users of OSM. Like, MapQuest and FourSquare. However, either of those have neither the detailed information of Google/Bing nor their popularity, so I see your point.
- __Joker 12y agoNot going into details, I was/am working on map related data. And still using OSM. And would love to see OSM take off.
- frewsxcv 12y agoFrom my experiences, OSM road/track data far surpasses Google Maps or Bing. What I find it lacks is good POI data, like restaurants, stores, etc.
- maxerickson 12y agoFoursquare doesn't use OSM for places: https://developer.foursquare.com/overview/venues https://developer.foursquare.com/overview/venues I guess Google is doing their own thing, Bing is listed as using Factual: http://factual.com/ http://factual.com/ (Along with Yelp, Trulia, GroupOn, others). Facebook is also in the business of having a landing page for every semi interesting place (I think this is one of the things that drove Google to push Google+ so hard).
