What OSM needs is a widely used service with consumer real time updates. The only thing I've been missing is showing closed roads or traffic. But that is all user sourced. Of we get enough people on board we are golden.

    Try Oeffi for public transport, it's awesome.

    There's so much info you can get via Google Maps:

    Busy Times (like for gyms or shopping)

    Whats Nearby

    Phone/website, etc

    Reviews (mixed bag)

    Etc

    It's tough. I use OSM as much as possible, but these are all things that I find very useful.
