this is me as well. I'm the /only/ person in my town that updates data on OSM, and if you leave the area its just a void of nothingness. Outside of the automatic survey info that gets added its a ghosttown.

I want to like OSM but, between the crappy UI on all the apps, and the lack of information, I couldn't do it.

    There are a few around me, but I still find very outdated info and make a bunch of updates. A business left a year ago, and I finally got around to replacing it with the new business.

    OSM is great, but it's super spotting for anything with any amount of variance. It's fantastic for trains and whatnot that rarely change, but for what most people use Apple Maps/Google Maps for, it's largely useless.
