    I’ve heard that said a few times but I have used both and MapQuest is infinitely more accurate and usable. I tried osm first and half the addresses I typed in couldn’t be found unless it were a major city. MapQuest I have not had that problem so they either use a different data source or they amalgamate multiple sources for more functionality.

      Most likely they mirror the data from OSM and then use their own search algorithm, this is what most OSM based apps do
