Apple maps are better then google maps I found for UX. Sadly OSM based solutions (I do like organic maps) are often just far too lacking.

organic maps is solid but needs traction, adding stuff to OSM by yourself is a bit difficult
-
If you find contributing to OSM a chore, you might wanna look into "StreetComplete". They have managed to "gamify" contributing to the database.

It's also available on PlayStore.

On the flip side, living in a place Google doesn't index properly, I've found adding stuff to OSM to be infinitely easier than adding/correcting things on Google Maps. Google just has the advantage of already having 99% of stuff on it
-
Yeah, adding stuff to Google is actually a worse experience than OSM, haha

yeah the main issue is a lot of times if you know where stuff is, you don't need to use it. so its a bit less then convenient.
I wish there were tools that when you searched a place you could import into oom, but then, that would be a violation.
