The problem with OSM is that with Google, Google maps is the go-to site to get
everything: map, routing, information. With OSM it is not. And while it is
perfectly clear that OSM has limited resources and will probably never be able
to offer all services from one portal, it is the biggest downside we have at the
moment.
I go to openstreetmap.org to see the map and/or search for places
I go to osrm.at to get car routing
I go to fietsrouteplanner-zuid.nl for bicycle routing in my neighborhood
I go to maps.cloudmade.com for general bicycle or walking routing
I go to opengastromap.de to get proper restaurant information (unfortunately
Germany only)
It just is less userfriendly than having it all on one site.
But a local 'portal' which provides all your locally enhanced feeds could get
around that problem?
