Magic Earth is good but it's proprietary and some features require a subscription. I also vote for CoMaps.
I use CoMaps for walking and for searching around, but Magic Earth's been better for driving. It's genuinely pretty good, but it sucks that it's closed source and proprietary, I'll gladly replace it with CoMaps or another FOSS alternative if one catches up.
I wonder how magic earth is doing the traffic information. Are they extracting it from Google maps?
