I use mapy.cz for my offline maps, also based on OpenStreetMaps data. What does this do better than mapy?

Open source, available from F-Droid, has no trackers.

+1 for mapy.cz from non-Czech user (both Androind and iOS)...

Great app, great maps (topographic maps more detailed in the forrest then Google), good route planning..

Are you from the Czech Republic? If not, what's your experience with the app?

I'm from the Czech Republic, but I live elsewhere and use Mapy.cz everywhere - in particular the "outdoor" version, which shows the contour lines, colours hiking trails, and contains a lot of interesting detail from OSM.

There are two things for which I still use Google Maps - finding businesses and getting car directions.

I am from Slovakia and also use mapy.cz. I think the main thing lacking is that in this app there aren't official hiking trails marked... maybe that's something specific to only Czech+Slovakia, but when going hiking, that is probably the first feature I look for.

That's strange. I don't use their app myself, but their Outdoor map style on their website is probably my favorite OSM map style. They even render hiking trails with the correct color from OSM data, which is unusual.

Take this area for example, it's full of what looks like hiking and biking trails, is it not? If there are trails missing, are they tagged correctly in OSM?
