Organic Maps: 10/10
Completely offline, shows more info about the landscape than Google/Apple Maps, especially for hiking, has almost all businesses, has driving directions.
- 123pie123 3y agoyou can also add and change that map - openstreetmap.org it's very rewarding when you see your changes being used by other people and apps
- solardev 3y agoIt heavily depends on your area though. It's often way behind Google Maps, in every populated place I've tried it in the USA. (Businesses are years out of date, roads are missing or incorrect, etc.) I do contribute to OSM, but day to day I find Google Maps + Alltrails + Trailforks to be more practical (all paid, closed source, but high quality data). Google Maps also has free offline tiles. Those other two have paid offline maps, but it's worth it to not have to always wonder if your map is accurate.
- thinkling 3y agoA tip about offline Google Maps: When your phone can “hear” a cell tower (and thus thinks it’s online) but doesn’t have enough signal to get any data, apps like Google Maps and Gaia will often hang instead of showing you the downloaded map data that’s on your phone. Put your phone in airplane mode to fix that behavior.
