But even then it can be sparse (eg just visited Merida, Bacalar and Valladolid in Mexico), and it’s worse in “non-western” countries&lt;p&gt;Tellingly, Overture Maps that use OSM for the street data to not use the POI data.&lt;p&gt;A lot of people pointed out that the POI data of Overture had mediocre quality. While that is true, they do at least have coverage in places OSM do not. If you know the name of the place you can at least find it&lt;p&gt;I’m not sure how this can become better, I’d think that a prerequisite would be that corporate users like Grab, DiDi, Uber start contributing&lt;p&gt;But that may not happen as they are not allowed to combine datasets [1]. Hence you have a chicken and egg problem: The dataset is not usable until it is complete…&lt;p&gt;The street data fundementally have the same problem, but that is easier to edit remotely and may be more stable in contrast to POIs&lt;p&gt;So I’m starting to question if it’s really worth it to continue update POIs in OSM, but I also would not know how to contribute to Overture as it does have quite some errors :)&lt;p&gt;[1] &lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;github.com&amp;#x2F;OvertureMaps&amp;#x2F;data&amp;#x2F;discussions&amp;#x2F;102&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;github.com&amp;#x2F;OvertureMaps&amp;#x2F;data&amp;#x2F;discussions&amp;#x2F;102&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;edit: Or maybe it is possible to conflate them, but that is not planned - &lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;github.com&amp;#x2F;OvertureMaps&amp;#x2F;data&amp;#x2F;issues&amp;#x2F;96&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;github.com&amp;#x2F;OvertureMaps&amp;#x2F;data&amp;#x2F;issues&amp;#x2F;96&lt;/a&gt;</text><parent_chain></parent_chain></comment><story><title>In 2023 Organic Maps got its first million users</title><url>https://organicmaps.app/news/2023-12-23/in-2023-organic-maps-got-its-first-million-users/</url></story>
