Best Maps alternative (lemmy.world)

I’ve downloaded Here WeGo maps, but I’ve noticed that the app lacks a review system. Additionally, the detail level for most places is quite poor.

Which Google Maps alternative is your favorite?

My experience is that with OSM apps, nearly each one is focused on a different thing. Which makes it hard for me to say "hey this is the best one"! For example, OsmAnd is good for a lot of things, but its poi interaction system is crappy (you have to first select a category, f.e. restaurants, and only then can you click onto individual markers on the map) and I'm not 100% convinced of its navigation feature either which has previously depicted wildly wrong time estimates for me. Magic Earth on the other hand has great navigation and seems to have more up-to-date data on some pois/buildings than OsmAnd, but isnt very good for anything other than navigation.

So I'm still searching for a map tool that could completely replace Google Maps for me.
