The quality of OpenStreetMap’s data is incredible. A few months back, during the “Apple Maps vs Google Maps” wars, I was comparing both of them to OSM, and OSM’s maps were consistently more detailed and with better coverage. It is surprising they do not get used more often.
Have a scroll around Tokyo for example – the detail is amazing.
If I’m sitting on the bus and I want to flip through my messages, I won’t want to have my hand stuck to the side of my face while I do it. I’d look like an idiot just as much as I would if I was talking to it in a crowded place.
If I could have a small touchpad I could hold in my lap, or in my pocket, it would be far more discreet.
