What is the difference between OSM and Google Maps?

With OSM, map data for the whole planet can be downloaded and used completely offline. Google Maps can only cache small region and generally can not work without an Internet connection. OSM dataset can be used to large-scale geocoding, routing and analysis, which would be impossible using Google Maps.
