Can anyone recommend a solid alternative to Google Maps when using an iPhone for navigating both in the car and on the hike?
I would like to install an iPhone app that does not use Trump’s fantasy names, so Apple maps is not an option either.
I am especially interested in an app that allows up front downloading of map data when hiking in an area where cell phone coverage is poor. I use that all the time when hiking in Germany or Sweden.
Google Maps supports this, but it also supports Trump.
