Transit routing, and routing in general, is one of the last things tying me to Google Maps, sadly.

EDIT: Why the downvote? It's honestly the last thing. I don't know of an alternative, and instead of downvoting, give me alternatives! I want them!

In my experience, Nokia Here and Apple Maps both trounce Google Maps when it comes to routing. Google still has an edge on POI, but other than that I never touch it.

Can those be used on arbitrary devices? If they are now, will they always be? Does this solve the initial problem anyway?
