Both Google and Apple Maps are dreadful. Google especially far worse than it used to be for simply finding local businesses on a certain street for area, for example. Clearly it’s been commercialised to the utmost degree - I assume businesses need to pay for reach - and now essentially useless for a clear picture of what’s on a street.

Has anyone ever had a go at open sourcing map provision like this? Surely a powerful concept if the incentives are aligned right to prevent abuse and draw in collaboration from users.
