This is selfevident. Without more or less complete addresses the map
cannot be used in, say, an ambulance application, or in a delivery
service application, etc. It is unusable.<br>
<br>
But if there is a <i>critical mass</i> of addresses for a town or a
city, then the rest could be completed by the same ambulance or
delivery service drivers. They actually drive to a certain address,
and may mark it on the map for future calls or deliveries.<br>
<br>
On the other hand, in mountains I always rely on GPS traces, as a
GPS trace means that someone really walked this way. A GPS trace is
the most important in mountains. So "World's most complete map"
seems to be OK.<br>

<div>What I really mean is the “world's most complete open map”.
There are three pieces to a modern map. There's the display
piece, the routing and the geocoding.</div>

<div>We won the display piece. It looks great. We are ok at
routing. Not perfect or great, but ok. We're really lacking on
the addressing...</div>
