IMO, as someone who regularly edits OSM, the maps need much more info and basic editing before reviews. I had to add many of my fave restaurants. Forget about reviews when the restaurants aren’t even on there. Just saying. Maybe as it gets more users.
(Tangent: I was just in a foreign country where I didn’t have much mobile data. But I had downloaded OSM maps beforehand and made edits beforehand for my trip. The only downside is that OSMand doesn’t update their maps very often in some places so I almost never got to use all my edits. Overall though the offline maps were very helpful for navigation, etc.)
I was recently in a different country and two of us were navigating an area that had been built up over the last three years. Only OSM had the streets and buildings. Google was way behind and would have been useless.
So for those people editing, thank you, it actually matters.
There are some people working on this and proposing some options.
