OpenStreetMap is incredible and opensouce, it is flexible and can be use offline too. Easy to integrate with any projects and portal. It is an powerful mapping tool and its free. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Its based on community updates which may result in some less data to be displayed. But its easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It helps on calculation, it's very easy to use and it gives suites routes between 2 points. The site is very fast so you don't have to wait until it's loaded. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Unfortunately, it refreshes very rare (2 times a months) and that's why you can't see closed roads for example. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I like that is not like typical map application, it is kind of unique since it has map features that not always given in any map application. In addition to have a simplified Mapkey that shows all the needed information to understand the map Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Not the easiest map application I used, maybe because it is unique on its own. Also, it is not the best application when it comes to navigating " data accuracy " Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It is free. It is based on community input and I think this map is the most accurate as of today. There is no need to go through approval process with your edits. This is important as your work is immediately accepted and visible. Comparing to other similar products your changes might not be approved and that's not very encouraging. It has a web interface to edit the map. Anybody can use the map free of charge. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I guess it is a bit hard to start with editing the map. The tools and symbols are not all intuitive and you need to follow a guide before starting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It is an excellent an efficient software that j=helps you in finding the location with the help of GPS and take you to that place. Plus it is free of cost which is a bonus. Give you better and accurate information that google maps. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It is good software with good tools and features so no disliking about it yet Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I like that it is not the google maps, or map quest, or whatever other maps out there. It has its own entity and serves a great purpose. The other day, I was on google maps and trying to see the update to the Fulton Market District streetscape project, but I was getting images of 2018 pre-work. On OpenStreetMap, you're going to get the current on projects as such. It really saves the day where google map slacks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I still use google maps, because it gives me my directions and time travels within a mobile app quite simply, by all comparisons. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Well, for one, it's free! It's also great how these maps provide so much more information than Google Maps, etc. Lots of companies use it, like Facebook, Craigslist, OsmAnd, Geocaching, MapQuest Open, JMP statistical software, and Foursquare . Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Personally, I think the maps are a bit ugly. Also, relying on users to keep the info up to date has obvious drawbacks. It also doesn't have the name recognition of other sites. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What I like about OSM is the fact that it allows its users to make maps focused on hikers, cyclists, physically challenged, sailors and technically any interest group. You can map crops, the number of doors or windows on any big building or even the age of a tree. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It's very similar to Google Maps. Whatever I can solve with OSM I can also solve with Google maps. None of them is necessarily better than the other. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
OSM is fairly complete, we haven't had issues with important things missing; and by nature, when something critical is, we can add it in. When certain people we're collaborating with don't like associating with Google (they're the "Big bad" tech company), OSM is a nice alternative with less data collection. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Just by virtue of being less well known, there's somewhat less code snippets ready online for working with the data. Getting support takes slightly more digging online. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I like simplicity and design of it. Being zoomed out is nice because it is not overcrowded with labels and just starts off with the country names, after zooming into a country you get more details such as states/provinces/regions as well as major cities. Zooming in more you receive details about highways and roads and how they are connecting areas to each other. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There is nothing much to dislike, maybe have more variety in color but that's not a true issue. It might be helpful to have a legend or just some information about some of the lines that appear, such as the red, yellow and black lines. When you zoom in you can tell that the red lines represent major highways but the other two are kind of a guessing game and also there are blue lines outlining each country as well and it would be nice to know what they are.
