Instead, consider how many people use the map. Consider how many people "garden" a particular area of the map. Consider how many people enthusiastically map a given feature (e.g. RV Dump Stations, Dog Parks, Smoking Zones, Bike Repair Stations, Bear Boxes). A pile of automatically imported or collected data is really not all that interesting or complete. I think in the USA the way forward involves finding user communities not served by other maps (e.g. Bear Boxes, above).
