What do you use? I tried OSM but found the navigation interface required too many taps on hidden menus to set up and to close. It’s easy to re route on the fly on Google and just tap finish when arrived, but that’s not the case for OSM.

Osm+. It took a long time to set up, but it was worth it. What also helped is downloading as many local maps as possible and set up favorites. It’s not perfect, but for what I use it for, I like it.

Osm is okay, but honestly so far behind GMaps that I’d rather go blind than trust it. Better chance to arrive.
It’s still the closest and of course beats Apple Maps but being lost beats Apple Maps. But it also highlights how good Google Maps is at navigation.

If you rather go blind than trusting any digital maps, then the only other option is going back to old fashion paper maps that existed before Google Maps was a thing.
