Google Maps has decided I live in a town about 16km from my house. I did nothing to change this, and it's been defaulting to my actual house for the four years I've lived here.
Apple Maps on my phone doesn't list as many local businesses.
Does OpenStreetMap know about local businesses/restaurants? Is there a good "I just need to search a map" front-end?
