> OpenStreetMap is still really hard to use and gives bad directions.

https://www.magicearth.com/ works well for car navigation with OSM data, and https://cycle.travel/ is the best way to navigate on a bike, also with OSM data.

In which country do you live, if I might ask?

Was about to mention magic earth, but of course someone else has recommended it already. Was talking with a coworker about degoogling and they brought up this. Surprisingly works good enough where I live.

It seems to me that these are two MagicEarth “owners”

- Magic Lane for the navigation app which traces back to 1992: https://www.magiclane.com/web/about

- Halliburton for something related to 3D visualization “that was formed slightly more than a year ago”: https://www.chron.com/business/article/halliburton-to-pay-10...
