    I love the idea I just wish it was better. Tried looking up a local restaurant that I recently ordered from, and a local car parts store, both not on there.

      OpenStreetsMap is the Wikipedia of maps. So if you feel something is missing and want it added, you can do it yourself. Neat huh?

        Very neat. I don’t have the time to add stuff or learn how to. So I won’t. And as a result I won’t use it, either. Neat huh?

        That seems to be the thing people with your point of view fail to understand. Some people definitely have more free time than others. And when it comes to maps, I just need something to work so I can get things done.

        Don’t get me wrong, I love the idea. If I had the knowhow and the time I would add to it. Same with GNU/Linux. But I don’t have the time to learn to be a programmer or contribute.
