Best Maps alternative (lemmy.world)

I’ve downloaded Here WeGo maps, but I’ve noticed that the app lacks a review system. Additionally, the detail level for most places is quite poor.

Which Google Maps alternative is your favorite?

It's great and the most complete one in the Czech Republic and Slovakia but the Android app has been enshittified to only allow offline maps of one country at a time unless you pay a premium subscription. The rest of the world is "just" OSM but they use a great skin, especially for the tourist map.

While hiking in Romania, where the tourist trail marking 🇯🇵 is more like a suggestion, not like the Czech one, where you pretty much always see at least one sign from anywhere on the trail, they've been great. However, there is an inexcusible mistake I found in Bihor: you think you can take a 10-meter shortcut between these two points by walking over a few rocks with barely any slope?

In reality, you end up falling into a 70-meter gorge. The elevation data and contour was imported incorrectly and does not line up! I complained and they said they wouldn't fix it.
