After the news that Google maps will rename the gulf of Mexico to the gulf of America I finally decided to change maps app(not confirmed).

What recommendations do you have? What to look out for?

The maps are pretty good (at least in my area)

For the unfamiliar that's another cool thing about using OSM data. If some of your favorite places are missing from the map you can just add it!

There's several ways to do it but if you have a laptop the easiest way is to use the editor on openstreetmap.org. They have a quick and easy interactive tutorial to show you the ropes and then you are free to add what you feel is important!
