Just wanted to add my experience with Organic Maps.

I used it extensively this year, mainly because it has hiking and bicycle paths that are not marked at all on Google Maps.

It works off-line. This is so valuable to me, especially when hiking.

One time I was lost deep in a mountain/forest, and the app found a GPS signal to show my location and direction, saving me from unexpectedly spending the night (for which I was not prepared). I suppose any map app is capable of this, but I was so glad.

It's also capable of giving directions.

And, unlike Google Maps, I can trust that the app is not collecting and misusing my location data.

Of course, as an open-source project, there are some rough edges. I have GMaps installed just in case, and on a few occasions I had to resort to using it. But I was pleasantly surprised by Organic Maps, so far it's my favorite mobile app for maps.
