Anyone else notice that when you update OSM, Google maps miraculously updates too?

Er, no. Do you have evidence that Google Maps is copying data from OpenStreetMap? Because if you do, please document it. It would be a bombshell.

I have not noticed that. In fact, I have mapped entire road networks in OSM that are still not in Google Maps one year later.
