MapQuest also released an online tool that lets you jokingly rename Lake Ontario to whatever you want it to be, then share the results on social media.

I use Google maps a lot to check opening hours of local restaurants. I thought I'd try that with an OSM app, and most of the places weren't even there. I'd never trust the details of those that were.

On the other hand, my cycling computer uses OSM data and it's quite complete enough for that purpose. With a couple of exceptions that I just remember that I need to correct.
