Google’s maps are decent and can also be downloaded to be offline…? But yeah, it seems like it’s a nice alternative, especially if you want to be free from Google’s grips.
On the hiking note, it also shows a lot of trails. I used it to navigate to a trail head and was pleasantly surprised to see a rough outline of the trails I would be using plus some others I didn’t know were there.
It even has water markers for longer trails where youd be hiking for weeks or months at a time. Sometimes those spots are dry, but you can clearly see water channels in the ground where it would be flowing.
Well i didn’t know it existed so I would have had a hard time using it in the past, I just commented from my perspective that’s not an advantage over what I already use
Any details on why it’s amazing? What does it do or doesn’t?

As a cyclist, organic maps never told me to go on the freaking autoroute, but google maps did…
Maybe it’s iOS specific but I had to go to a region and download the map to be able to search it, which is not great
It’s the same on Android.

It shows me where the speed cameras are :)
Waze does that too + reported police, hazards
I see no benefit to using Waze. Openstreepmap works better.

Waze isn’t FOSS.
