Maps

I highly recommend that every individual prints at least one good topo map of the area they live in.

Here in the USA you can find them here:

a helpful video for using them is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4kh2lqm5ryE

Organic Maps is a free app developed by the open source community to provide offline maps without  an internet connection. You choose the map you want, download it to your device, then access it offline.
I would consider this an essential tool for everyone.

An alternative to maps is what3words. The developers divided the globe into 3-meter sections, and assigned each section a unique set of three identifying words. Each set is different, so each set only represents one small area on the planet.  This is a much more precise method for locating a building entrance for deliveries, a reserved parking space, a tree that needs cut down, etc. Absolutely brilliant for emergency personnel and law enforcement.

I've played with it a little bit, and found the map to be very detailed and interesting.
Blick Art Materials (Las Vegas, Nevada) ///force.plank.saying
Casa Bonita (Lakewood, Colorado) ///cared.luck.types
Robin Hood's Grave (Mirfield, UK) ///digits.drum.cakes

The only thing I felt could be improved would be allowing the address of a location to be copied so it could be pasted into another app.

OpenStreetMap is an alternative to Google Maps, but it doesn't have the "street view" functionality.

Surveillance Camera Finder is an interesting app.
