I've been using #OrganicMaps on #Android as replacement for Google Maps.
So far so good.
The only complaints are that I sometimes need traffic because I live in a traffic hell and the map data often does not include a business, in particular, that I'm heading to...
So I made an account at #OpenStreetMaps and started adding the missing businesses I find.
It is a stupid easy way for you to contribute to an open project. You should try it. Help round out the data where you live!

in reply to Lime Bar • • •Great! Welcome to the #OpenStreetMap community π
Please note that the #OrganicMaps developer community has forked it under the name @CoMaps due to governance and future takeover concerns. #CoMaps has replaced Organic Maps as my first recommendation for an OSM app.
#OsmAnd has been mentioned as a more powerful alternative to CoMaps/Organic Maps. However, if someone doesnβt need offline maps (maybe theyβre low on storage), or maybe you need to share a place on OSM with someone who doesnβt have CoMaps/Organic Maps/OsmAnd installed - check out osmapp.org/ (@osmapp), which is a progressive web app with multilingual vector tiles, navigation, photos from Wikimedia Commons, 3D buildings, indoor maps, and more.
mapcomplete.org/ (@MapComplete) is another web app worth checking out. It works on all devices, the concept of themed maps helps you discover some of the possibilities of OSM, and it has a beginner-friendly quiz-like editor similar to StreetComplete.
Most notably, #MapComplete shows you photos of places (including photos of restaurant menus!) from #Panoramax (@panoramax) , and ratings and reviews from #MangroveReviews (@mangroveReviews) β¦and it allows you to easily add them yourself using only your OSM account. Panoramax and Mangrove Reviews are libre (βopenβ) data projects just like OSM, and can help all OSM apps.
Iβve heard that Magic Earth (proprietary) uses OSM data and has traffic information too. Worth a look?
