What about quality?
“OSM quality is beyond good enough, it is a product that can be used for a wide range of activities”

“Creating, maintaining and delivering a comprehensive, high quality map database is a
multi-step, labor-intensive process. We currently employ over 270 employees in our centralized production facility and a global
workforce of over 700 geographic analysts in 32 countries”

Often don’t need detailed “GIS” maps
KML and GeoRSS are good formats
Sparse data

You can use KML in lots of placesKML uploaded to GeoCommons and used for thematic mapping

KML The Good

Here’s a print of Chinatown, San Francisco.
Instead of gargoyles, we’re using more appropriate bits of icon and text to recognize the corners.
Here you can see that someone has walked around Green Street and noted address information and a few businesses.
This is not information that you’d be able to get from a satellite image.
It’s also information that don’t really need a GPS for: the roads are already in place, but they need extra eye-level information.
