Apart from being confusing to understand & use, you're making the false

only red lines are either where Google maps are inaccurate or there's an
error in your algorithm as there's no difference between OSM & Google.
sorry for causing confusion. What would be your idea of making it more
clear on how to use it?
Should I change the order of topics on the explanation page to have it
closer to the beginning of the page?

I could also display a pop-up similar to the one at the osm.org main
page. But I found these a bit annoying as you have to always close them
before being able to use the map.
I'm not a native speaker. Could you suggest a better way of explaining
this? I tried but maybe it's not as clear as I hoped it would be.
It's this section:
Things to consider
------------------
There are a few things to consider when using this tool.
First and most important: It can't tell you which data is better. It
just shows the differences. It's up to the user to decide what to do. It
could be that OSM is not tagging a major highway as such, it could be a
problem with Google as well. Use common sense to judge or try contacting
mappers on the ground.
