OsmAnd, mobile app for navigation and maps. Offline, based on OSM, can do anything. I use it for checking out and bookmarking places, finding POIs and pubic transport stations, routing (especially for bike and foot), measuring distances, and so on. It can also show and record tracks, do car navigation, edit OSM points, and more stuff that I don't use. Pro/plus/full version free on FDroid
I want to like this, but because there's no GTFS/public transport timetables, it makes it kinda impossible to use it to get around cities that publish their transport data.
PT is the one thing I'm still stuck on Google maps for. I REALLY want an open source alternative.
Magic Earth is spotty on public transit, but it does have it, at least. And it is based on OSM. I usually just use my local transit app for accurate timetables, anyway.
It also works really well for routing on water. One feature I really like is being able to specify the dimensions of your boat and then having it take that into account when calculating a route.
