Hi -聽 I have found Google maps to be wrong on a number of my drives around the island.聽 Is there an app that anyone can recommend that might be more helpful and accurate?聽 Thank you!聽

Both (Maps and Waze) are often wrong.

Many non through "roads"

I use both but I am very suspicious.

If I can, I use Maps on a computer with the satellite view.

Eventually, I know where it could be wrong and adjust my itinerary.

The free "OsmAnd" and mapillary offline mapping are great and with many layers like transport and hiking trails.(not as good as Strada, for hiking though).

I have used What3Words to specify a location if I'm unfamiliar with the area.(But not everyone uses W3W)
