I’m limiting my Google usage to the best of my ability. Monopolies always lead to a huge decrease in quality as shown by the likes of Reddit and so on. I will appreciate the help. I solely walk or use public transport if that matters. And I live in Germany. :)

I use OsmAnd for Android. I pay yearly for some extra features. I mainly use it for hiking and 4wheeling but it’s street navigation is pretty accurate.

https://organicmaps.app uses Open Street Map data, and I prefer its UI over OsmAnd

If you’re feeling adventurous, you can also contribute to OSM mapping with something like https://streetcomplete.app :)

Adding new business through Organic Maps works well too, for those who also contribute to OSM.

Yeah OsmAnd~ has a lot of cool features like path tracking, and I find when I’m out hiking or in a park it has more accurate and available trail information than google does(though it’s still not perfect and still more of a supplement). Navigating isnt quite as good as google because of a lack of traffic data, and it’s ui is a little complex, but it works fully off line.

I can recommend the app called Waze if it is available in your area

Edit Sorry, ignore this. Google own Waze as mentioned below.
