OpenStreetMap vs Google Maps

Does anyone have any objections to retiring Google Maps in favour of OpenStreetMap?

It's partly to simplify things and partly because I think OSM is more detailed than GMap, for example it has paths and bridleways. This is probably part of the reason it is used on Strava.

You can compare the two here - http://redhillcc.co.uk/location/woodhatch-park. GMap is at the top.

The only advantage I can see to GMap is street view.
