Lemmy seems like the right place to ask this. Personally I’ve really enjoyed Gurgle, which is a FOSS Wordle clone app.

    I’ll second Openstreetmap, I use it exclusively. There’s also a set of lightweight versions that are locally hosted, so I use osmap.nl if I want to quickly look at where something is. It also forces the names to the language of the server, so you can use it to improve a second language.

      I also love OSM, but I often heavily rely on Satellite imagery for orientation.

      For example, when I explore an area, I‘m going to travel to, I almost exclusively look to the city‘s satellite imagery beforehand to identify landmarks and use them for orientation. Unfortunately that doesn’t work well with OSM.

      Has anyone an OSM equivalent for satellite imagery?

        I use OsmAnd on Android and it has a feature to overlay (or underlay) map tiles from multiple sources. I use the OSM tiles as my default and overlay Microsoft’s satellite imagery over them, which I can turn on and off (or even adjust opacity with a slider).

        You can look at routes and stops on it and that’s about it, but I maintain that Google Maps is awful for public transport. I used to work on the railway and I have some anecdotes about it.

          Oh. In Dublin at least Google Maps is pretty good for public transport. OSM doesn’t show correct routes

            Ah shame. To be honest I use dedicated public transport websites and apps anyway, or I just do it the old-fashioned way when I’m not away travelling and remember the routes.
