OpenStreetMap
I'm mapping the town of Williams Lake, British Columbia, Canada. After uploading my tracks and adding my roads I like to see how it looks compared to some of the online commercial options. It's always satisfying to see errors in commercial road data when mine is right :) I've already found at least 3 gross errors that my map _won't_ have (especially roads going over water or through buildings). Here's one road I won't want to take (see imagery):

This comparison shows that some google tiles seem to lack that error

Thanks guys. Thanks also for the comparison check - I find some strange behaviour about which scales and tiles have the error. I'm going to probably finish up that area today just to make mine more complete around that problem :)
