there’s something called “open maps” (atleast I think that’s the name) that people on Lemmy seem to like.
Haven’t used it myself yet but people seem to like it
Edit: looks like it’s actually “OpenStreetMaps” and there’s not one app for it :/
If anyone else has experience I’m open to recommendations
I love OSMAnd for openstreetmap. Great for offline maps, and able to download whole countries in advance. There’s lighter weight apps now, I think; OSMAnd has lots of features, many which I don’t need, but I still love it after picking it up when it was maybe the only one.
Doesn’t do traffic (I don’t think?) and it’s routing used to be lacklustre. Search function still seems rubbish to me, but maybe I’m using it wrong. (If I’m searching for a place rather than looking on the map I’ll often use Google maps to get a lat/lon or plus code, then put that into OSM!)
Somebody please recommend an app. Must-have features are traffic, police, and speed camera alerts. The app also needs to show the speed limit, and basically have every convenience feature that Google Maps has that I’m forgetting about.
I’ve been using Magic Earth, I am not sure that it has traffic and police. Does for sure have speed limit warnings you can set or turn off and camera alert options.
I haven’t had it very long, there may be options I missed on setup. Worked great my last few trips. You can pre-download maps before you travel which was a must for me.

Apple’s maps data frequently is OpenStreetMaps data in quite a few regions.

Organic Maps on iOS seems good so far
