I tried CoMaps and on my first test I navigated to the airport and it says there's no metro connection (there is metro + bus). There's obviously no photos or reviews for anything neither.

For banks, I have 2 that only work through the app, the others I could maybe set up to use SMS instead of the app, but then I wouldn't be able to use it when I'm traveling abroad

You can always fill your area in Comaps. The more people use and contribute the better for all.
For me Comaps is enough. Before going somewhere new If i cant find it on OSM i search it online and add it

Co maps doesnt work for people in the US that aren't new York city or Los Angeles folks.

Herewego is far better for me.

HEREWeGo was awesome for nav. That's all I use it for, not reviews, pics, etc.

However, I no longer recommend it because Nokia sold HERE Maps to Uber and after the update it received (several years ago) it felt clunky and slower. I'm guessing adding in telemetrics and tracking stuff for their benefit was the reason, so I quit using it.

I drive an early 2010s car with navi and no telemetry/SIM so I'm happy to still use that. I paid $100 to get the update DVD-ROM for roads and POI.

Agreed, CoMaps is rough right now in US rural areas especially, however, for my county, I update POIs as I can, and download maps for offline use when I visit somewhere. Purely maps, POI info I look up or rely on referral for feedback. No Google reviews, no Yelp, nada.

For purely navigation, Herewego seems to work. But again, no photos, reviews or any info about a place. So for me, it won't replace Google.
