   1. Lack of Street View
   2. Higher Resolution of satellite imagery
   3. Speed of tile rendering
   4. Cartography (Terrain view blurry)
   5. UI issues

Item 1 is calling out for a Mapillary solution. Mapillary offers smartphone
holders for cars, maybe getting one for cyclists would help. Mapping road
surface would help, but doesn't get at the road quality issue cyclists
need.

Higher resolution imagery: I doubt there is a mapper that wouldn't also
like to see higher resolution satellite imagery. I'd also like more current
imagery. Even my counties Bing imagery seems clearer than ours, although
JOSM allows higher zoom levels.

The remaining items seem to point towards Mapbox.
