alt Hacker NewsDoes anyone know how fresh the business data is? like opening, closure, phone, address of businesses?
i think one thing that's going for google is the network effects and what it's able to do.

Honestly in my experience is that in some parts of the world, or even particular neighborhoods even google maps is useless.
Even for routing google maps still fail with some one way streets directions.
Depends a lot on where you live. My village is pretty fresh cuz I update it lol. My impression is that it's quite good in western Europe, might take a month in major US cities, and probably years old in most other places. I think Indonesia, Israel, and Japan are decent as well.
