    I’ve been looking for something like this! So far I had an open street map bookmark but this is way better for when I’m hiking. Other commercial maps sucks for hikes.

    If only it had support for public transport. In theory it would be my favorite OSM app but I can’t really use it without support for that :(

        I don’t think it’s OSM but I use Here we go. I don’t particularly like it but it has public transport support and isn’t Google Maps.

    Interesting that the post is showing Prague. I think it’s a nod to the influx of Czech users after our most popular map app, Mapy.cz by Seznam.cz, underwent enshittification to accomodate a premium tier.

        It’s especially good for the Czech Republic, the rest is just an OSM reskin (still good though). If you stop updating at 9.55.2 (9550200), you will still get the premium feature (multi-country offline maps) for free and without downsides, AFAIK. However, they have stopped server support for old versions before and it’s pretty much impossible to unofficially import the map data without root.
