Why I use OSM

When I first stumbled upon OSM, I think it was by accident, but I was mesmerized by it. I wondered why I had never heard of it. I saw that anyone could edit it, and I found this to be good on principle considering how well it works for Wikipedia. So back in October of last year I made an account and started making edits. If I remember correctly, navigation really wasn’t that great, but now the Graphhopper bike and walk directions are much better. I have come to prefer OpenStreetMaps fundamentally because I had tried editing on Google Maps, but all my edits became their property . They had actually deleted most of them, especially the bikeways that were crucial to biking in Franklin, TN. I also think that OSM looks far better than Google Maps does in many ways.
