OSM has - for some places at least - really good topographic data compared to Google maps:

https://maps.google.com/maps?q=Tavon,+Coredo+TN,+Italy&hl=en...

http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=16/46.3652/11.0953&layers=...

And worryingly, Google has removed that layer entirely from their mobile application.

They've also removed the terrain layer from the 'new' desktop app. http://productforums.google.com/forum/#!searchin/maps/terrai...
