OpenStreetMap has superior information for my city (Montevideo, Uruguay), especially housing numbers.

Though for businesses and such, Google Maps is better (and I like the maps and the way they render, too).

This thread makes me want to resurrect one of my side projects (mapping apartments for rent and for sale, the Craigslist equivalent here is lacking on several points, although it is better than Craigslist).

Edit: as it says here http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4151512

OSM has worse data in some places, and better in others.
