If you go out and find the exact position of a service, with a piece of
paper and a pen (or a GPS or whatever), that's your data, not theirs. So of
course it's compatible.
And you should do that anyway. OSM is meant to be a crowd-sourced,
constantly updated representation of what's on the ground, not some cheapass
mirror of any dataset that Government happens to have lying around.
