I imagine certain features like Google Maps' different busyness indicators might be missing because otherwise that would require telemetry?

maps.me has been pretty good - they occasionally try various ways of monetizing it (the most recent one seems to be some kind of limit on map downloads) but it was a pretty straightforward OSM viewer with basic routing and searching.

Give Organic Maps a try; it's from some of the original creators of MapsWithMe/Maps.me: https://organicmaps.app/

+1 for organic maps. Been using that for the past year and it's awesome!

Thanks - just replaced maps.me (no, Lemmy, that's not a URL!) with organic maps.

It sounds like maps.me might have gone through a few changes of ownership? The latest "update" comes a lot closer to breaking its core functionality than previous attempts.
