    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.

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