About
Google Maps is an online mapping and navigation service from Google that provides users with street maps, satellite imagery, 3D views, real-time traffic data, and route planning across multiple transport modes.
It supports turn-by-turn navigation for driving, walking, cycling, and public transport, allows users to download map areas for offline use, and offers Street View panoramic imagery and indoor maps for venues in over 100 countries.
OpenStreetMap is a free, editable world map project that provides open geographic data created and maintained by a global community of contributors.
Its data includes roads, buildings, points of interest, and transport networks, supports detailed tagging, enables full data export and custom map rendering, and is released under the Open Database License, which allows copying, modification, and commercial use with attribution and the requirement to keep derived data open.
