Apple has its Maps, Google has its Maps, Seznam has its Mapy.cz. There are indeed many navigation applications and those with map data, but Seznam is the one that thinks primarily of us, the inhabitants of the Czech Republic, and many consider its Mapy.cz to be the best data available here.
You can use them primarily or just as a support for a certain type of tourism, or to find alternatives, points of interest, planning, etc. They offer a lot and are constantly growing. Here you will find the most important things they added last year that you may have missed.
