 There is none. 

Anyone who says anything different is just not going to admit that Google does maps better than any other entity on the planet. 

OSM is a terrible third  place. (behind probably Apple) 

Address lookup is terrible. It is perpetually out of date. Editing the map is stupid and/or requires other apps to make it not the worst thing ever. It still sucks. 

Google earth is one of the best things to ever happen to humanity even if it gets used for dumb stuff, too. 

I deal with using waze, magic earth, OSM, and organic maps.  
 I tolerate MapQuest's app. For navigating, it's almost as good. 
 I should give that a try sometime.  
 damn i haven't used mapquest since i was a child. it is good? :D 
 It's functional. The navigation seems slightly latent. It shows you passing a street, when you're approaching it. Aside from that, it gives me all the normal directions, can do multiple way points, has predictive address entry, "satellite view", and some other bells and whistles.

I think there's plenty of room to modernize the app, but it works. 
 I'll probably use it thank you! organic maps is great when you don't have internet but a bit old school  
 I keep a box of maps in my trunk. I've never had a vehicle without paper maps in it. 😉
