• The Official MTA App

  I live and swear by Citymapper[0] for all cities that it supports. No other app I've used has been as good for public transport as Citymapper has been. I really hope one day one of these city transport organisations either buy it out, push for it, or license their tech. [0] https://citymapper.com/. - Source: Hacker News / 15 days ago

• WWC Sydney

  I’ve had an easy time getting around in Sydney by public transport using Citymapper. Source: 10 months ago

• Am I weird?

  We do! Citymapper often will tell you what door to get on for the best exit, depending on whether there's data available for that journey. Source: 11 months ago

• Google maps should add a feature for train or bus trips to have your phone vibrate a few stops before yours, thereby allowing you to take a quick nap without worrying about missing it.

  Citymapper does this really well. It also tells you where to sit on the train to be nearest the most convenient exit at your stop. Source: 12 months ago

• DART commuters, how far do you have to walk each day?

  But by way of encouragement maybe, the area near my office—off Irving Blvd and Medical District Dr—is not pedestrian friendly by any stretch. Google Maps will give you worthless, even dangerous bike routes. Citymapper is a bit better, but really what I found paid off was spending some time studying maps, aerial and street-level imagery, then a weekend morning doing some testing and exploration.

• In 2023 Organic Maps got its first million users

  Had the same experience, and ended up being satisfied with Magic Earth[1]. I tried more or less every major navigation service (paid and "free"), and I ended up sticking with it. And no, I'm not affiliated in any way; just wanted to share a recommendation because I was in the same boat. [1]https://magicearth.com. - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

• Does your city have the bicycle route option for Google Maps? Mine doesn’t.

  Don't bother with Google Maps. Not just for cycling but also for driving. There's better options like Osmand or Magic Earth that actually use a map instead of a yellow pages for navigation. Source: over 1 year ago

• Migrating from iOS, deciding if installing Calyx or Graphene on Pixel 4a

  Try Magic Earth for a Google Maps replacement (you can try it out on your iPhone now and download via Aurora Store on CalyxOS). It’s better than Google Maps in many aspects (except public transport and looking up places, but you can easily use separate apps for that, namely the app/website of your local public transport company and a search engine/Yelp/TripAdvisor).
