The only Google service I used until recently was Googe maps. However,

what I read in online searches that cannot be corrected by the user
because it is supposedly rendered as graphics.

Open Street Map is lacking a lot of information. For example, the whole
long El Dorado Trail singletrack is missing. Yeah, one can edit that as
a user but I don't want to re-invent the wheel.

Mapquest isn't great either anymore. It auto-fills nonsensical stuff
into the search field and so on.

Those among you not using GPS, what do thee consult for cycling maps
outside these three main ones?


Uk so I use Strava which gives a idea where folks a ridden, for more
details stuff, then I use Ordnance Survey maps mostly paper but sometimes
digital.


Strava, MapMyRide, RideWithGPS all have the ability to find routes as
well as map out your own routes. On a phone you can use them to
navigate. For my bike club our routes are on RideWithGPS. Comparing
RideWithGPS to my Garmin Edge 800, the maps were pretty well done.

I know that bike paths show up on all 3 of these apps. Not sure about
single track mountain lion infested back country paths. But I have used
all three of these apps to record hiking trails with decent results so I
imagine that's possible.
