    I still think osm needs better business listings, maybe the fine ladies at Anna’s can scrape Google maps 🚬

      That’s true, there are some projects to bring features like street view/360 view, interactive business listings, internal views, etc. In my area, I still have to switch back and forth between Google and OSM, but some areas are much more complete. It just depends on where you live and which specific features you rely on.

      It will never come from scraping a copyrighted source, as that would be fundamentally against the ethos of the project 🤷
