organicmaps -> google maps Of course Google Maps has traffic prediction and restaurant ratings, there's no good open alternative yet. For standard foot, cycle, car navigation I fuond organicmaps enough. And it's open, free, offline, no tracking.

Nice! I've been using Maps.me but recently it got acquired and new owners had some problems with understanding why people use it

Have you tried Magic Earth as well? I could never get myself to use OSM or Organic but found Magic Earth a rather intriguing (if rarely mentioned) option
