That just convinced me to download and try it lol

I've been using it for a good while and it's solid! I just wish I could integrate traffic updates, somehow

Possibly the app you are looking for is Magic Earth. It uses OSM map data, but includes optional live traffic

Where are the advertised bike & hiking paths? I know OSM has layers of varying quality for that but I can't seem to find it in this app.

Same, but lack of public transit support in my city is a dealbreaker. And although it's better for servers and privacy, needing to download the map for any city you would otherwise quickly browse the map of is annoying.

I tried it and am very happy with it. Reminds me of map.me before it went to shit.

Serious question: in what way did maps.me get shitty? I've been using it for years as a gps replacement and other than being closed source and having a paid tier found no issue with it ( or at least no extra issues compared to other OSM apps )
