Complying with the OSM copyright just requires attribution, but
complying with the Google TOS is more complicated, because you can't
use Google's API (javascript library) to display non-google maps, and
you can't access Google map tiles using an API that isn't Google's:
https://developers.google.com/maps/terms sections 10.1.a and 10.4.e

Google is strong-arming people into using their api+data and nothing
else. My understanding is that legally the only way to display both
Google and non-Google maps on the same page is to use a different
javascript library for each. But of course in practice, everybody
ignores that and blissfully infringes the Google TOS ;)
