OSM Germany is absolutely detailed. Honestly, german contributors could spare some time mapping in other countries.

Germany looks detailed but a lot of information is missing. The most important part is to get osm recognized by the people as the map source. Where companies add their info because they see value in doing so because if you are not on osm, your business doesn’t exist.

Awesome. Always annoyed me when I got a delivery from them, but couldn’t view the map without selling my soul to Google.

Finally all those doors I mapped become valuable for someone.
