cyuk2 - "This is superb for walking, especially with the free, downloadable map content for offline use on the hills.
Good level of detail too for smaller tracks. You can also load gpx files etc to follow other people's routes."
umataro - "Nokia HERE is excellent but does not currently (at least on android) offer lane guidance. This does.
Waze is online only, OsmAnd can download maps for offline use.
OsmAnd+ works (or worked when I used it) with crowdsourced maps from OpenStreetMaps project and (if you pay extra) with maps from TomTom. When I travelled around the world, I managed to get to areas that NO commercial mapmakers mapped. Literally nobody. Not Google, not Navteq, not Tele Atlas, nobody. Only OpenStreetMaps. So my suggestion is, get this if you want to do a bit of offroading, travel to exotic countries, drive through the countryside, etc."

Another thumbs up from me about Nokias Here, does the job, minimum of fuss and regular maps updates.

I'd be interested to see a comparison in mapping quality between the OpenStreetMap data that this app uses, Here maps and Google maps. Particularly as far as cycling and walking routes is concerned. I guess they are all pretty good for driving routes.
I like that they include over-speed limit advice, I wish google maps did that, it's the main reason I choose to use Here maps.
Here maps not part of Nokia anymore, now owned by the German car makers.
