    It’s an Open Source alternative and offers offline navigation, too.

    Good open source app based on OpenStreetMap, but I prefer Organic Maps, which I find more lightweight and easier to use.

    Google Maps is missing the ability to report incidents, and the ability to show/report police locations.

    Google maps does not have the 'community' features of Waze - Adding blocked roads, problems with traffic speed, police locations, etc.
