Made by MapMyFitness, MapMyWalk is great for accurately tracking your walks, whether they are for business, travel, exercise, or leisure. Create routes, find routes, or save routes, count calories, mileage, and pace, and even sync your music. The company also has separate apps for biking, hiking, and running, but here's a quick tip: you can do all the activities from any of the apps by just using the "Activity" setting when recording your workout.
Open Street Map is an open source map of the world, created and amended by people all over the planet. It emphasizes local knowledge, so if you're in a city and know of a new route or location, you can feel free to add it. There are many types of contributors, from mapping enthusiasts, to professionals, to humanitarians that help add things during disasters. The map shown here was listed as a great example of a community-made map of Pompeii, Italy.
Citymaps is a global social mapping tool, made to integrate with social media and your personal preferences. You can create your own maps on the go, explore your friends maps, and share yours with others. Each store or restaurant location is represented by its logo, making them easy to find, and the app offers turn-by-turn directions as well.
