In some ways, I'd argue it is better today. I find using an OSM-based app is far more likely to show trails than Google Maps is. (Probably because Google 1.) Doesn't really care and 2.) Official data for trails is pretty fragmentary.)
As an example in 2019, we climbed on Mount Shiroyama above Kagoshima and looking at Google Maps the only way down to the city was the one we came from or some car only tunnels.On the other hand OSM listed a path with lots of stairs the locals apparently use to get up and down the mountain quickly.
If we used only Google Maps we would have to backtrack quite a bit over parts of the city we already went to but instead we arrived back in the city quickly just in time to get a tasty evening ramen. :)
ADDED: Very nicely done. Just bought it.
