My issue is it lacks a lot of local businesses. No point in using it if I have to go to google to find the business address anyhow.

Yup that's also the issue for me. If I know where I'm going (just not how) it's not a problem. If I'm not sure where I'm going (like trying to find a place for the first time) it can be a problem.

This is the one difference I see too - if it’s a place I know I’ll just go and add them to the map.
