Did Google Arm Its Own Enemies With Android? (HBR)

Southampton, UK. But frankly the same has been true in other parts of the UK that I visit, where I make more use of a map (after all I already know where my local railway station is, the inability of certain map services to put it in the right place is a joke, but not actually an inconvenience)

I'm told Google maps is great in a car. I don't drive (I can, but I don't) so I wouldn't know. On foot the OSM data is very good. Judging from a fellow walker's device, Google believes the Forest is largely empty, while OSM's volunteers have helpfully included the many criss-crossing footpaths and whether they are legally bridleways (which if you don't ride a horse means: probably muddy).
