Crosspost. I got good recommendations on another community and I am interested in your picks.

Which are you using?
For most things (day trips, few km after work...) I use multiple of them.
- online and offline mobile app
- trip planner works pretty well
- you can check out places (photos, reviews...) when online
- well maped whole Europe
- not enough information about roads (asphalt, paved, gravel...)
- basically interactive version of KČT maps
- can't find app
- basic planner, but better for drawing your route
- much more helpful info about roads
- it is just automatically scaled paper map, so you have to know how to read it
Osm clients - I tried multiple of them.
Paper maps - from the same company that makes the Cycloserver maps. You can get set of them for about 100€ (CZ not sure about SK). There is just something special about planning trip on paper maps.
I mostly use OsmAnd for everything.
Also https://www.opencyclemap.org/ is nice if you want to find bicycle paths.
Another nice tool is https://www.komoot.com as it has a lot of features for planning (longer) trips by foot or bike.
I also like BRouter - e.g. https://brouter.m11n.de . There other versions of this with different settings and languages.
I think all of them are based on OSM data, but they augment them in various ways.
Organic maps
It's not overly complicated, doesn't eat up data, has offline mode and works well for both driving and cycling. Oh and it's FOSS, community driven, no data collecting.
Organic maps as a map works quite well. Its routing leaves much to be desired for cycling though.
https://github.com/organicmaps/organicmaps/issues/1518 would help with that.
I am not a power user of OM, but did not have any issues with routing so far. ...but again I did not test it for many scenarios while cycling as I mainly stick to my usual routes.
Organic maps and osmand~ android apps are both great
For route planning I love bikerouter https://bikerouter.de/
I live in Chicago. You don't need maps here.
