I noticed tonight, through the shipping site gcaptain.com, on one of their articles following the cruise disaster of Costa Concordia off the coast of Italy, that some news sources use OSM maps to illustrate the area of the grounding.
On the following page you can compare the look (and maybe a little detail) difference between Google map, traditional ECDIS (nautical electronic map display) and OSM of the area around Giglio Porto, where the cruise liner hit a submerged rock and finally sank.
