It is based on OpenStreetMaps, so I could see a little known trail in the middle of the Cederberg mountains in South Africa. The great thing though with OpenStreetMaps is, if something dos nor exist, you can just add it yourself.
It installs on iOS and Android phones (including from F-Droid and Obtanium), but I was also pleased to see a Flatpak install for Linux desktops as well.
