I am totally blown away by the level of detail provided by the map providers in Korea. Even the navigation devices they use in almost any vehicle is of a much higher level than anything I have seen outside. As the car approaches a flyover or a junction, the device actually renders a 3d view of the area from the pov of the vehicle, with detailed buildings, trees and lighting to match the time of the day. Each lane of the road is marked with turn restrictions and speed limits.
All the gloating we do of the capabilities of osm fades in comparison to what's been achieved here. We are years away from reaching such a level where it will possible to crowdsource data to such a detailed level in a consistent manner.
