There are obviously many areas where OSM data is absent, but.... in the 
areas which have been surveyed by OSM, what way does OSM have less quality 
than Google? I'd say Google's data quality is poorer, in the sense that 
many features are simply not there (you try finding an urban footpath or a 
rural path on Google), or footpaths are sometimes shown as roads, etc.
