Hikers rescued after following non-existent trail on Google Maps::It was unclear how the trail in British Columbia had appeared on Google Maps in the first place.

I use Osmand for trails in the woods, it is decently accurate in my country and also has a ton of other features
Yea it's clunky as hell and unusable for driving, but as a browsable walking map it's the best
Organic maps
Is not much better unfortunately, searching is garbage too
I've had some good luck but it definitely needs some work still
I'm also a happy osmand+ user, but once i got lost in the middle of a field / bush. I'm sure there was a trail once, but not safe to follow. Said bush was not very dense, so we though multiple times: Ok, this could be the way. Or that path?
Was the same for me this vacation. Gladly we were on a smaller mountain which was completely surrounded by villages, so we knew that just going down the mountain would lead to a bus that could bring us to the hotel, so we didnt care that much.
