I have to agree; the huge bonus with OSM is the level of detail that we can achieve with it. Also being able to start embedding not as obvious knowledge into the mapping data is a huge plus. Lol, now just think if we micro-mapped each tree in the parking lot you could get your GPS to determine the spot that is likely to be in shade for a large part of the day, keeping your car nice and cool! :) Ok, too far perhaps.
