I mean that’s where this conversation started: osm works fine if you already know where you’re going.

Except in places where I know where I want to get to but don't know how to get there, OSM most of the time is better than Google. So many examples of this for me, over and over again. It is just more up to date.

Specifics too, things like trails, parking, alternative routes, all better.

The traffic is a thing I suppose but every where I have been like I said it rarely saves any time.

Maybe it is because I travel through a lot of different places and countries.
