A new pedestrian bridge (bicylce included) was opend a week ago in neighbourhood and last night I took the time to track it via GPS. A short look at Google-Maps, Yahoo-Maps, Navtec-Map shows me that we are first, yeah!

For a pedestrian bridge we will likely continue to be ahead for quite a while as the others have very little focus on pedestrian/bicycle infrastructure. Keep up the good work, it is little differences like this that will eventually open people's eyes to the project when they see how well it works.

OSM is usualy ahead (at least in popular areas) for pedestrians and recent modifications. In my city there are even two spots where OSM is ahead of the national mapping authority.
Sometimes it happens at a more impressive scale though : see http://tools.geofabrik.de/mc/?mt0=mapnik&mt1=googlemap&lon=-7.13802&lat=52.61326&zoom=12 for a strech of motorway that has been opened in september 2010, but so far only OSM and the national mapping agency are aware of it (just checked google, bing, ovi(navteq)). The motorway appeared on OSM the very next day after the inauguration.

Check out this difference:

osm.org/?lat=50.9795&lon=3.12017&zoom=17&layers=M
And yes, OSM is correct.
