The company will also change the name of Alaska's Denali mountain back to Mount McKinley.

    Some Alternatives:

    Open Street Map

    MapQuest

    Organic Maps (Mobile)

    EDIT: Added Organic Maps

    EDIT: Removed Apple Maps since they’ve made their change.

      If you see the Gulf of Mexico pop up on street map your car may be floating.

      Anything that includes public transit routing? It doesn’t look like OSM or MapQuest include public transit, and I’m not seeing an option to use Apple Maps via the web browser on Android.

      For destinations I go to regularly, I can easily pull up schedules without Google maps, but if I’m going somewhere new, Google maps greatly simplifies the process of figuring out which route(s) to take.

      Hasn’t OSM also said that they will change it once it’s properly completed?
