    From what little I know of research projects data is never ever complete enough. Or recent enough. Or analysed enough.

    OSM is nice because it’s open source but as a mapper I agree it’s far from complete.

      Yes, it is never complete, but you have to compensate for that. Otherwise you kinda end up with a map of openstreetmap coverage quality rather than whatever you were trying to research.
