Non-nerds wouldn't search for "open streetmap" in the first place! We're not a consumer-facing brand and don't intend to be.

Many more cyclists use Strava, Garmin, RideWithGPS, Komoot, cycle.travel etc. than search for "open streetmap". But they're all using OSM data.

We need to get to that position with walking. We're not there yet, in the UK at least, basically because we don't have the best-quality footpath data for map display: Ordnance Survey does. But we're getting there.
