Google Maps is great but Maps.me has tons of hiking trails that Google doesn't have.
I know Google Maps can download map sections ahead of time but I go to a lot of places with no mobile phone service and if I forgot to download maps ahead of time I don't worry about it. I just open up Maps.me and it has all the trails, roads, and usually the parking lots.
For many uses it is superior to Google Maps. I am glad I have both.
- s0rce 6y agoOpen street map is great for hiking trails, particularly around urban areas where the US government maps (USFS, USGS) are way too out of date and don't cover new trails. I routinely update OSM for trails around the SF Bay area as I hike/bike them. I like the TF outdoors product accessible via the Caltopo and Gaia GPS apps, particularly the ability to easily download the maps for offline use.
