Title says it all. I’ll go first:

I don’t really have any on my computer (all I use that for is Vim, Firefox, and Git), but on my phone: Orbot (basically Tor as a VPN on your phone).

      OpenStreetMap is amazing. I always use the maps when I want to know details about some place. Much more detailed than Google Maps.

      ETA: Especially when you want to go somewhere on foot or by bike, because Google Maps kinda sucks at showing footpaths etc.

        I can’t stand Google maps now. You have to fight it to show the actual map. The map, too, is now swarmed in Wall-E levels of marketing trash: bubbles, home businesses, auto play review videos, promoted fast food and coffee 8 miles away when I’m in a dense walkable area. The user reviews and navigation are still valuable, but literally every other aspect has went to shit.

      It fully depends on the area. My city has only a few hardcore mappers, but that’s all it takes to make it really detailed.

        Alright, thanks for letting me know! I’ve looked at it a while back (it seems it would’ve been really nice for hiking) and it didn’t seem to have everything – granted I live in the middle of nowhere.

          There are some apps you can get where it will ask you questions about features where you are, and you upload the answer back to osm.
          sorry I cant remember the names of these apps though - everywhere i go (in the uk) the osm content is awesome. better than google for basically all but businesses.

      I don’t know about general maps but any footpaths or off-road stuff is really good there and better than on Google or Apple Maps.
