e.g. Apple Maps gave garbage directions from New West to PoCo. Google Maps did a decent job.
However, Google maps gave terrible directions around Mount Pleasant area. (told me to go along 12th instead of 10th for some dumb reason)

I only really use Google Maps when I have to, but it’s also time to switch away from Apple maps.

The main need is bike-friendly mapping system.

I used it for my way less-populated town and it has an astonishing coverage of the many bike trails around me

So Maybe I need to figure out how to correct the source data with bike paths.

Or whatever algorithm they have that prefers 5 minutes on highway (70km/h) instead of 15 minutes of bike trails through woods needs fixing and is simply out of my control.

Thanks for the tips though!

It uses map data from OpenStreetMaps.

You have to download map data for the regions you are interested in, which means it will also work offline without Wifi or a cell connection.

I don’t know how well it routes for cyclists, but take a look. You could always provide feedback to the developers for improvements.
