    OpenStreetMap is definitely a better alternative than Google Maps. OSM doesn't track you or appropriate your data, it's community-built and open source. I use OSM every day to get where I need to go, and if there's a problem with the map, I can fix it myself!

    A great technology, but not comparable in terms of features

    Open data, can be easily fixed and enhanced by myself or others, great detail (not car-only stuff like in GoogleMaps) , no commercial spam / privacy-rejecting tracking, much more up to date in many places...

    OsmAnd is like a Swiss army knife of navigation apps. It is amazing not only for driving, but hiking, cycling, horseback riding, boating... you name it! It is more difficult to set up than most other apps, but its versatility is incredible. It can connect to the car through ODB, show weather overlays, and many many things one doesn't even associate with a navigation app.

    Other than OpenStreetMap there is a phone app that lets you do routes. OsmAnd also supports CarPlay

    As fluent, responsive and convenient as MAPS.ME, but without the blatant privacy breaches of MAPS.ME.

    No longer fully FOSS! Also many if not most active contributers left due to transparency issues!

    The option to have offline maps that don't expire is a plus.

    I'm searching for a replacement to Google Maps. I mostly use it for live-time public transportation routes and schedules. Unfortunately, HERE WeGo couldn't even get close to a reliably accurate account of the regular schedules in the Canadian city I live, let alone in live-time.

    It feels familiar to Google Maps but simplified! It seems to be trustworthy and private.
