Based on your experience, what is the best alternative to Google Maps?

Google Maps front-end?
actually, now that you ask about it and I try it, sharing directly to osmand isn't the best solution, as osmand handles shared addresses kinda weird. after a little research and experimentation, I found using an intermediary app called Acastus, which you share the address to, and it converts the address to GPS coordinates for osmand. it asks for location permission for using the address of your current location but works fine for this case if you deny it.
