I recently started a trek to de-googleify it's going to be a long road.

I pulled down all the big free map contenders.

They'll all, without a doubt, will get me to the grocery store down the road.

They're all pretty decent at obeying one-way streets and u-turn limits.

More mixed results on business hours.

Most of them start having trouble on really long distance trips.

Many are missing creature comforts like multi-stop planning, I'm not sure which if any support dynamic remapping due to traffic.

The ones I were playing with did not provide me lane guidance on which lanes go left and right.

If Google maps and Waze stopped working tomorrow I could still use most of the free-ish street map variants, but I would miss a lot of features.

That's a damn good review from my point of view, thanks!

I agree, they're totally viable.

While you have to look elsewhere to do it, yelp or a browser answer the hours question.
