Google Maps as a WMS source?

It breaks the terms of the Google Maps & terms of the Google Maps API.
you might want to google 'google maps wms' (2nd one down)
pleased don't copy data from Google Maps into OSM.

Ordnance Survey OpenData

VectorMap is in GML - https://www.ordnancesurveyvectormap.com/howItWorks/
OS VectorMap™ Local is a national vector dataset supplied in Geography Markup Language (GML). It has been derived from OS Landplan data and has been generalised to view between scales of 1:3000 to 1:20,000.
It is cleaner and better than Meridian2 (fake roads!)
But agree that Meridian2 as background raster/trace is worthy of implementation especially for rural areas of England, Scotland & Wales.
But OSM data should persevered as is and not replaced by it.
suggest at Road Name checking comparison option?
