Isn't Apple Maps basically TomTom?

Also I find that where I live (Germany) OpenStreetMaps is superiour to both Apple and Google.



Not anymore. At launch the road networks was from TomTom, but for years now they have been in the process of completely redoing it from scratch themselves. From a quick Google search it looks the new data rolled out to Germany a couple of months ago.


Apple relies on a massive number of data sources for maps: https://gspe21-ssl.ls.apple.com/html/attribution-221.html
