Too bad, maps.me was by far the best maps application for non city use, and ideal for hiking. Commendable initiative to bring it back in its original version! A few examples of why it was so great: Simple, non social bookmarks. As in: place a bookmark so you don't get lost while hiking, or when you find a nice spot you want to come back to later. Yep, a utility feature that doesn't somehow map to some stoopid busines…

Check out pocket earth, the UI is a bit clumsy but it’s clearly a labour of love by the author and has served me well in such scenarios..

I do not know if it's available on iOS (I suspect no) but on Android I am a really happy user of Osmand. It uses Openstreetmap as maps provider and I always use it when hiking. It gives you the altitude profile of your route which is very useful.

OSMand is much more complete than maps.me. A usable alternative to gmaps for me.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

For hiking, check out https://en.mapy.cz/turisticka . While it focuses on central Europe, it regularly imports OSM data worldwide and I found the coverage pretty good.

Norway-specific, but https://norgeskart.no/ is insanely detailed for hiking, skiing, etc.
