    I use Osmand for trails in the woods, it is decently accurate in my country and also has a ton of other features

      Yea it’s clunky as hell and unusable for driving, but as a browsable walking map it’s the best

      I’m also a happy osmand+ user, but once i got lost in the middle of a field / bush. I’m sure there was a trail once, but not safe to follow. Said bush was not very dense, so we though multiple times: Ok, this could be the way. Or that path?

        Was the same for me this vacation. Gladly we were on a smaller mountain which was completely surrounded by villages, so we knew that just going down the mountain would lead to a bus that could bring us to the hotel, so we didnt care that much.
