You can use different external sources to do different types of comparisons:
1. Garmin (or any other commercial) map: compare length of roads,
number of poi's, addresses.
2. Municipality data: take lists of street names and calculate how
many of those exist in OSM (how many streets exist in OSM but
Yes, comparing against the big G is laziness/default. The maps that you get
