Crosspost. I got good recommendations on another community and I am interested in your picks.

Edit (original post text)

Which are you using?

For most things (day trips, few km after work...) I use multiple of them.

Mapy.cz

online and offline mobile app
trip planner works pretty well
you can check out places (photos, reviews...) when online
well maped whole Europe
not enough information about roads (asphalt, paved, gravel...)
basically interactive version of KČT maps

Cykloserver.cz

can't find app
basic planner, but better for drawing your route
much more helpful info about roads
it is just automatically scaled paper map, so you have to know how to read it

Osm clients - I tried multiple of them.

Paper maps - from the same company that makes the Cycloserver maps. You can get set of them for about 100€ (CZ not sure about SK). There is just something special about planning trip on paper maps.

Organic maps and osmand~ android apps are both great

For route planning I love bikerouter https://bikerouter.de/

Organic maps

https://organicmaps.app/

It's not overly complicated, doesn't eat up data, has offline mode and works well for both driving and cycling. Oh and it's FOSS, community driven, no data collecting.

Organic maps as a map works quite well. Its routing leaves much to be desired for cycling though.

https://github.com/organicmaps/organicmaps/issues/1518 would help with that.

I mostly use OsmAnd for everything.

Also https://www.opencyclemap.org/ is nice if you want to find bicycle paths.

Another nice tool is https://www.komoot.com as it has a lot of features for planning (longer) trips by foot or bike.

I also like BRouter - e.g. https://brouter.m11n.de . There other versions of this with different settings and languages.

I think all of them are based on OSM data, but they augment them in various ways.

I live in Chicago. You don't need maps here.
