Openstreetmaps

Android app OSMAnd+

I’ve been using CoMaps for a while as my only map app and I’m very happy with it.

Cartes is probably the closest thing that I've found (besides Apple Maps or Bing Maps).

• You can share links with anyone, and they don't need a particular app to open it.
• The interface will be familiar to Google maps users.
• It supports leaving reviews for locations.
• It will pull up Wikipedia information and photos if any have been uploaded to Wikimedia or Panoramax.
• It's really good for public transit routing.
• It's okay for planning driving routes, but for turn by turn directions you'll want to use CoMaps (which Cartes has a link to open up the route there).

If it meets your requirements, try Vela Maps which is a degoogled Google Maps.

" A degoogled maps & navigation client for Android - what NewPipe is to YouTube, for Google Maps. Open vector tiles for the basemap, the device itself scraping Google's public web endpoints (per-user, no backend) for the things only Google does well: POI quality, routing, and traffic-aware ETAs. Built to run on GrapheneOS and other no-GMS ROMs. "

I think it's a fairly new product and seems to be rapidly improving performance with quite a few updates lately. (I have discovered some glitches but they seem to be addressed as soon as the app updates the next time.)

It might meet your requirements because it's not Google Maps.

It might not meet your requirements if you want a truly no-Google product, because it uses a few Google things anonymously in the back end...

I was using organic until CoMaps forked it, now CoMaps is the way. It's open street map so you can sign up and fix whatever you want, pull down the next version and it's there.

I do miss street view, voiced street names, and really miss cowdsourced hazards from waze but it's worth it if you're not on a long high speed trip.

edit: turns out you can turn on tts street names

From my own recent tests, Maps.me is good for finding businesses, citymapper is good for public transport, and TomTom is good for driving directions with live trafic.

OSMAnd is amazing, customisable, can do everything (I use it for hiking, saving locations, and topography) but for things you'd use google for (finding businesses, driving, street view) google does those things much better.

And PSA for those who don't know, Waze is owned by google and maintained in Israel.

Comaps is what I use because it is free, Osmand+ is what you should use if you are willing to pay a bit, but don't use Organic Maps.

MapQuest is a perfectly reasonable commercial alternative that has all of the things you'd expect - dynamically-loaded map tiles, turn-by-turn nav, etc. If you want to look at options that use OpenStreetMap data, I've found CoMaps to be very good. The biggest drawback is that you have to download maps (~100-300MB per geo area) all at once, which can be a problem if you're on the road and don't have great signal strength.

Co-maps generally works good for me, bht the bjg disadvantage is it has no traffic data (I think this might be inherently incompatable with standard foss, would love to be wrong though). So my go to when driving is HERE wego, which works well and is up to date (and not evil as far as I know)

I love Organic Maps. Works on Android and IOS. Fully offline (maps predownload at first run) and all route calculation is locally computed so it's especially good for hiking or where signal is poor.

Only thing I miss is live traffic updates but for me that's an acceptable tradeoff for the ultimate offline privacy as far as a digital map can do it.

The voice it uses is whatever's built into the phone's accessibility features so on some devices it sounds a bit janky, but on Android at least you can install different ones if that bothers you.

good or better then google maps, no, they're are a trillion $ company with major resoirces

I use OSMAnd+ its a little bit shit but ot gets me by. I also edit a little bit of Open Street maps in my area to help

deflock Half joking

I wish there was a way to export a pre-calculated route from deflock to CoMaps though that would just be the bees knees

Here Wego is proprietary and corporate, BUT it's non-USA and it has live traffic

edit: to clarify, non-USA ownership, but usa roads and traffic data are available

I've just started using MapQuest like many others since the lake ontario thing. It's been pretty good and I find it a lot more functional and accurate than the Foss options at the moment. It's not perfect but it's also not Google or apple.

If OSM isn't good enough, make it better.

Comaps works well for me. If it's not comprehensive enough, contribute! OSM is crowd-sourced.

for basic things openstreetmaps based ones (comaps organic maps), for anything else no.

CoMaps is good if you already know where to go.
I use it in conjunction with GMapsWV: look for a place, copy the coordinates with the share button and paste them into CoMaps.
Never missed an address and I use it quite a bit.
