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!

No navigation abilities. It’s just a mapping service. … The APP, OSMand, is superior to everything else , including Google Maps, though! … It’s coming to the web soon though.

It has 10x more features, 10x more use case including biking, walking, skiing, still excellent coverage for cars, with low to no cost and better privacy policy.

It is the most promising privacy-focused alternative to the Google Maps app on Android. It's too bad then that it commits the unforgivable sin of not allowing the user to track movement while observing the convention of north = up. This makes it disorienting and straight up unusable for many users in its current state.

This is a great no frills map. Let's you take maps offline and but still provides the ability to find local restaurants and other things you're used to.

Good alternative to Google Maps on mobile while based on OpenStreetMap. Allow more fine grained access to data usage and give feedback during data consumption. Routing works relatively well.
