Google Maps – could use Apple Maps, but I’m now so used to Google’s maps that I probably will not change in the short-term. I find the interface to CarPlay not that easy to follow for either of them to be honest, so tend to use the car’s inbuilt GPS.
OS Maps – my preferred mapping service. A very small charge gives you access to all the Ordnance Survey’s maps down to the 1:25000 scale.

RealTimeTrains was mentioned as a good journey tracker, but it’s not an app as far as I can see.
The Stagecoach app (Google) (Apple) and the Cardiff Bus app were also used by members.

Side-by-side was recommended by Ted Richards as a neat way of looking at maps archived at the National Library of Scotland. It’s not an app, but a very useful reference.

A website Ian Appadurai recommends, and Jonathan Guest has tried out, is Roam Around. It’s based on ChatGPT – something we ought to look at soon.

A new one, recommended by my daughter – City Mapper; it is both a website – https://citymapper.com/ – or from that URL, you can download an app for both iOS and Android. It has coverage for a lot of US and European cities (including Cardiff) – https://citymapper.com/cities – and navigates you around selecting the best route from the filters you apply, and the transport mode you want to use.
It even tells you where you can pick-up a hire bike and how many it thinks there should be there.
Try it!
