Some Alternatives:
Open Street Map
Apple Maps
MapQuest
Organic Maps (Mobile)
EDIT: Added Organic Maps
Anything that includes public transit routing? It doesn't look like OSM or MapQuest include public transit, and I'm not seeing an option to use Apple Maps via the web browser on Android.
For destinations I go to regularly, I can easily pull up schedules without Google maps, but if I'm going somewhere new, Google maps greatly simplifies the process of figuring out which route(s) to take.
Organic maps does
I see the option for transit directions in the app, but I've tried a few different destinations that I've regularly visited via bus, and it only gave walking directions for all of them. I also tried the airport, which I usually get to via rail, and it says that subway navigation isn't available in my region yet.
