OSM performance really depends on your location. In my entire country, there's like TWO people (not me) contributing 99% of data. As you can imagine, there's no real time info and lots of stuff lacking.

Public transport is also very dependent on location, both countries I've lived in recently didn't have integration.

Edit: I love that somebody downvoted me for stating objective verifiable facts. Dude, get a life.

    Hence why I specified OSM being better in densely populated regions! It is a good point that, depending where you live, OSM could be a pretty inaccurate mapping tool. If you want, you could help contribute to OSM for your region! (There's a few apps available that gameifies it if you're into that)

    In Hong Kong, where I grew up in, everything is well mapped and all the MTR stations are labeled. And during my short trip to Germany, I was able to find a relatively obscure restaurant in Munich.
