    It is only available on Apple OS. Google maps is OS independent.

    Requires a specific device, from a specific company, unlike most others. These should be split into two sections: Google Maps on Web and Google Maps on Android, so one does not get recommendation, worth nothing of value in advice, since you cannot take OSM with you on the go.

    Its ok, maybe it doesn’t find all places but as a turn by turn navigation tool it’s fine.

    Probably the best alternative to Google Maps on desktop. It does not have a mobile app though, which is a shame.

    There's a good chance that you won't be in the coverage area.. even in a lot of cities.
