Just like open source software, open data gives you a lot more room to do things you didn't expect you'd want to do when you originally started with the software/service/data.
Gerv already mentioned printing flyers. Maybe you'd also like to access your maps offline? Or use another visual layout that better suits your specific use case? The examples are not that hard to find...
Of course you can keep using Google Maps and only change when you realise you do need to do something the Google license prohibits. I'm lazy and not really interested in reading licenses so I've gone with OSM -- with CC-BY-SA I at least have a possibility of understanding what is legal and what is not.
