   Why use google maps?   
      
   I strongly recommend OSMAND+ available on FDroid. You down load the map   
   info for the regions you require and all your map use is local to your   
   phone, even route planning and directions.   
      
   And frankly google maps suck! The actual mapping is not that useful and   
   omits lots of info - it relies on you choosing to plan a route to your   
   destination, calculated at google, so that google has even more info   
   about you.   
      
   OSMAND+ is based on OpenStreetMap data and, certainly in my region, that   
   info is far far superior to google maps. It even often is better than   
   Ordnance Survey here in the UK, certainly at street level.
