Organic Maps is pretty decent. magic maps apparently has a tracker. I think sometimes you have to find the spot you want on the map and then say route there to get directions in organic maps.
OsmAnd map: loading time, routes preview.

I've used OSM for many years around the world and in London as well with ...Greater London w/o any significant issues.
On my phones for many years there has been no space for Google Play services
[deleted] thanks. u dont find the loading time painful? as for the ui, it isnt in par with modern app imo.
zehyani hey, can u provide source for that?
is it this one: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.generalmagic.magicearth
that is the link. when i go there it says
This app may share these data types with third parties
Location
Icon image
This app may collect these data types
App info and performance
I hope this helps. i really think Google Maps and Google Earth are fantastic apps, but
do not use them
zehyani thanks, i saw that, but i dwded offline map of my country and rove all permissions.
after checking many apps, magic earth amd organic map are my choice. osman deffo a no go, not intuitive and loadig time is horrendous (considering it is an offline map, doesnt make sense) for routes amd journey, either google map pwa or tlf pwa.

OsmAnd works perfectly but you need to install from Huawei AppGalary and also it needs Huawei HMS Core which is like Google framework. ( yes i am aware that China can do some telemetry via this)

Help, I can't get the speaker to work with OsmAnd! It gives an immediate error code "Cannot start text-to-speach engine". What does that mean?
So a text-to-speech app is not native to Graphene and must be installed first? This, I did not know. I recently installed, "Speech Recognition and Synthesis from Google" to allow DuoLingo to work because speech-to-text would not work otherwise and this seems to also have made OsmAnd speech work, even though that is technically the reverse, text-to-speech! Everything works fine now!
