    I hate Google and try not use it anymore but there’s still one thing I can’t do without : Google Maps.

        OSM is great in some places. But outside of the more techy areas, it’s a barren land. I something do my part with streetcomplete, but anyway, it’s not there yet (in most places)

        Organic Maps are great, however if you’re looking for shops and restaurants (or rather their reviews) Google Maps are second to none.

          OSM can technically replace Gmaps for shops and restaurants if enough people were using and updating it.

          However, Gmaps in unbeatable for public transportation :( no alternative at all

            In Europe you can usually download an app for the public transit in that specific country/city. However, Google Maps is the only one that will show you how to get to a specific address (not just the train/bus station).

              I use Transportr for that. It integrates with the different local metro systems. Works great in Sweden at least🙂

        I can never stick with those alternatives, the traffic conditions feature is simply too good to miss
