What maps app do you use

Google has many faults, but the one responsible for this one is someone else
No, the executive order only applies to the federal government. Google chooses to follow it.

I tried to like Magic Earth, but I haven't gotten used to it yet.
Organic Maps is great. Although addresses can sometimes be a bit iffy to search for, unless you type them exactly as they are written. Probably also depends on where in the world you are searching.

Google in 2008:
By saying “common”, we mean to include names which are in widespread daily use, rather than giving immediate recognition to any arbitrary governmental re-naming. In other words, if a ruler announced that henceforth the Pacific Ocean would be named after her mother, we would not add that placemark unless and until the name came into common usage.

Magic Earth. Organic Maps as a backup. I've found that Magic Earth is the happy middle ground of map apps.
Closed source client, but uses OSM for its map data. European company, so better on the data front.
I tried using Organic Maps as my main navigation app, but there were slightly too many times where it couldn't find the address, or the navigation got stuck, etc.
My IT job requires me to get to places quickly if they need on-site support. I have to be able to depend on my map app to get me there reliably. Magic Earth does that, Organic Maps is very good, and I keep it around to use in case I have issues with Magic Earth, but at least in my region of the country, it just isn't quite up to snuff.

Organic Maps with Sherpa-Onnx text to speech directions. It sounds just as realistic as Google maps
-
OSM (no "app", just Web) at https://www.openstreetmap.org/
CityMapper

Organic Maps and FacilMap
-
Actually people from OpenStreetMap are currently discussing about the renamming of the Gulf of Mexico here: https://lemmy.ml/post/25024889

Would you please give a quick tl;dr of the marketing campaign you speak of?

Open street map with organic map
-
Organic Maps. It is quite fast and I really like its UI.
-
- For directions, I use OrganicMaps.
- For location bookmarks/pins, I'm currently building an app, so I use that.
- For checking business information, sometimes i'll still use google maps
-
Besides organic, I use watch duty (fire tracking), MyRadar (weather) and waze (driving)
-
Waze is owned by Google...
-
For my ebike I use OSMAnd with Brouter
-
Organic maps takes next to forever to plan a route for me, if it manages at all
-
Hola Facilmaps works! I'll be trying it out some more soon
-
What the pizza?

OsmAnd~ is really good and feature rich but a bit complex. I use it because it has very good navigation with the public transport where I live. I tryed Magic Earth, it's simpler but at some point it stopped suggesting me navigation with the public transport here. And if you don't need public transport suggestions try Organic Maps, it's very simple.
On Linux- Marbel by KDE or Gnome Maps.
If I need to check something on the map I just use OpenStreetMap in a browser. -
Huh really? I haven't had that issue. But we might be totally different use-cases; If I'm routing, I'm usually in major cities mapping a route via public transit. I quite like OrganicMaps for this, because it's still quite stable in underground subways when internet is sus.
edit: To be clear, I haven't noticed issues when I map for driving either, but I'm admittedly not driving a crazy amount.
