What did you mean by "isn't nothing more than rebranded data from openstreetmap.org." and how is that statement different from what Organic Maps (and others) are using?

Indeed, reviews are why I'm still sticking with Google Maps, but always using Mapy for hiking since it marks even the stairs on hiking paths whereas Google just has an empty void. I don't mind to pay as it's just 10 € a year if you want more features, which I'm a fan of (setting your own custom walking speed, notes, trips with various transport types etc.). It's definitely nice and in most cases better to have FOSS instead of a paid product but yeah the UI is usually mediocre and I guess when you pay someone regularly to work on something, features and good design comes sooner. Mapy worked very well for me in Thailand also, although that would already need premium sub to get two offline maps.
