Thinking about ditching Google Maps but it feels almost impossible at this point? Here are some of our personally recommended alternatives that might change your mind! Have you found any other good recommendations? https://alternativeto.net/software/google-maps/

- CoMaps: Exciting new community led open-source fork built on Organic Maps foundations, but with clearer governance and transparency so you get the same fast offline navigation without ads, tracking, or location history https://alternativeto.net/software/comaps/about/

- OsmAnd: Open-source OpenStreetMap navigator with powerful offline regions, rich POIs, GPX tracks, and advanced routing controls for power users https://alternativeto.net/software/osmand/about/

- HERE WeGo: Originally owned by Nokia, HERE WeGo is a solid Google Maps alternative for everyday driving and transit, with dependable turn by turn navigation and offline maps, and unlike the others it uses HERE’s own map data, not OpenStreetMap https://alternativeto.net/software/nokia-ovi-maps/about/

@alternativeto I have used CoMaps and OSMAnd extensively over the last year. They are great for hiking and planning but not quite as good as Google Maps for route directions. The benefits of using them though far outweigh that disadvantage though. My advice, ditch Google Maps if you can

@alternativeto Ill add gmaps to the list if you need more specific business information or location. Openmaps or my goto Comaps do not have good up-to-date info.
