Compare the work of OSM vs maps Geocenter consulting
Our company is engaged in the development of various web services for freight. Recently, we launched the project Carry Everyone , focused on private "domestic" transportation: moving, transportation of personal belongings and furniture, etc.
Within the framework of this project, we are cooperating with Kosmosnimki, since all shipments are tied to different geo-data, and we need to implement the functionality related to the sampling of goods from a specific area. At the first stage, we first implemented the laying of the route and the calculation of the distance according to our applications .
Now we offer everyone to compare and test the graphic substrate of maps of the Geocenter, which is more familiar (probably) and Open Street Map, right here.
I’ll say right away that the route is built on the basis of the OSM router, and for us it was a slight surprise how well it even runs through the tracks put into operation less than a year ago. For this, let's say “many thanks” to OSM activists. On OSM substrates, there is always more recent data on large cities than on the Geocenter, although according to information about villages and villages, the second one wins, an example can be found here, the route is next. Efremovo-Stepanovka - with. Samara - these are two god-forgotten places in the Rostov region. By default, the geocenter will have a substrate, but you can select OSM (top left), and you will see how Efremovo village appears and disappears.
The next pleasant surprise was the opportunity to pave the route inside major cities, two examples:
')
So, dear Habravchane, you can test the service and leave your comments, because in the end we will have to make a choice in favor of one of these monsters of cartography.
PS Eh, we’d like to shorten the links to the service by using maps like Google Maps ...

Our first impressions
I’ll say right away that the route is built on the basis of the OSM router, and for us it was a slight surprise how well it even runs through the tracks put into operation less than a year ago. For this, let's say “many thanks” to OSM activists. On OSM substrates, there is always more recent data on large cities than on the Geocenter, although according to information about villages and villages, the second one wins, an example can be found here, the route is next. Efremovo-Stepanovka - with. Samara - these are two god-forgotten places in the Rostov region. By default, the geocenter will have a substrate, but you can select OSM (top left), and you will see how Efremovo village appears and disappears.
The next pleasant surprise was the opportunity to pave the route inside major cities, two examples:
- Moscow-Rostov-on-Don (with accuracy to the house)
- Kazan-Kazan
')
Total:
- Router OSM paves the route better than expected. Weakly Yandex pave the route "Upper Ufaley - Nyagan . "
- Laying the route with accuracy to the house in large cities is definitely a plus +.
- Geocenter - details the "god-forgotten" terrain.
- OSM faster updates data on major cities.
So, dear Habravchane, you can test the service and leave your comments, because in the end we will have to make a choice in favor of one of these monsters of cartography.
