I use Komoot for wild walking and biking, and it's incredible. Hugely more accurate and reliable. Just wondering if there's something like that for city and intercity travel. Thanks for suggestions!

Maps.me is pretty functional, powered by OpenStreetMaps, and has a not too expensive annual charge to remove ads. It allows one to store entire countries offline on your phone. Although it seems to be plugging some "pro" feature now so not sure if they've become enshittified. It also has an option to not use Play Services in settings.

Maps.me used to be open source, I believe the Foss continuation of the project is Organic Maps. Thats not necessarily relevant to OPs question, but it's worth knowing about :)

Thanks for that! I actually hadn't bothered checking in on the app's lineage in a few years. One must apparently always stay vigilant anymore.
