Open Street Maps are way ahead of any other maps in my opinion. In my town they have all the fields, ponds, lakes etc all accurately mapped. Amazing.

Overpass is great for the advanced user (and i really hope it sticks around), but unusable for the average user, where google is miles a head (search for pubs in $city for example). On the navigation and mobile site I'm not convinced.
