OpenStreetmap as an alternative to the closed source maps.

OrganicMaps or OsmAnd to navigate and StreetComplete or EveryDoor to improve it.

    Oh man, Street Complete is very cool, thanks! I always wanted to contribute to OSM but found it a bit daunting. This is like Pokemon Go but useful!

    I always wanted to contribute to OSM but found it a bit daunting.

    Any contribution helps! Hell, I went around town just looking for bike parking racks to add, and was able to put dozens of new ones on the map. You can even just label house numbers (with the aforementioned apps listed in the comment you replied to).

    To add to that, Maperitive is a fantastic piece of software (Windows only) to create your own custom maps for hiking or cycling with osm. A bit tough to wrap your head around unfortunately, but actually pretty powerful. Hmu if you need quick instructions
