I think OpenStreetMap is a European Thang. Here in the US, it can't
match addresses to locations. It also has no way of custom-changing a
route, which IIRC is the only thing that Google Maps couldn't do in
Surf. And, as expected, it has neither Street View, Satellite View, nor
store locations.

Nevertheless, I'll be using OpenStreetMap as often as possible, because
Google makes the world a worse place. Thanks for the information.
