At least in my experience, OpenStreetMap has far, far superior depictions of hiking trails. Edge case I know, but still, it demonstrates that Google maps does not actually reign fully supreme and can be bested.

Osm is superior for hiking and very local data. Google is still a requirement for navigating Toronto traffic/construction.
