Please note I was talking about GMaps data for Romania, not in general.

Do a search on Google Map Maker if you need a reference.

People volunteer their time wherever they want, but OpenStreetMaps data stays open, while Google's becomes proprietary, for profit, the moment you put it in.



That said, as I user, I benefit directly from correcting the data in GMaps, while since I don't heavily use OSM on mobile, it is a nice gesture from me but isn't giving me much if I change OSM.
