Open-source apps that replace Google Maps and Apple Maps
Organic Maps is a free maps and navigation app for phones that works offline and does not track its users. It is for hikers, cyclists, drivers and travellers who want turn-by-turn directions and maps based on OpenStreetMap.
OsmAnd is a map and navigation app for phones that uses OpenStreetMap data. It works fully offline once maps are downloaded, and suits drivers, cyclists and walkers.
CoMaps is a free map app for phones and computers that works offline and does not track users. It is for people who want hiking, cycling and driving navigation without giving up their data.
OpenStreetMap is the software behind the openstreetmap.org website and its editing API, where volunteers add and browse map data. It is for people who want to view, edit and contribute to a free, community-made world map.

Fix the list itself
A project or closed app missing from this list, or a mistake on it? These open a short form on GitHub, and a mod reviews it. To say what a project can't do, use What's missing.
About this page
Replaces fully means it does the main job of these apps; Replaces partly means it covers some of it.
Licenses: every project here uses an open-source license (what each one means). Open core means some parts are paid or under another license.
GitHub stars are shown for reference. They measure popularity, not whether it replaces anything.
Verified means r/TrueOpenSource mods checked it: open-source license, maintained, and it really does the job.
