You need those OSM maps and offline maps if not already

OrganicMaps is not good enough for me.

I prefer a combination of GMaps WV (a hardened WebView for Google Maps developed by DivestOS) for searching for places, and MagicEarth (closed source unfortunately but uses OSM) for navigation.

Yeah sorry but I've tried both but nothing as usable as MagicEarth. Also for businesses, restaurants and stores, having a way of checking gmaps is irreplaceable 😪
