Yeah they use tons of data sources, including osm, natural earrh, regional tourist authorities, etc. https://licence.mapy.com/?doc=... They started as local maps portal for czech republic (formerly mapy.cz), specialized mainly in hiking routes, but got so good that they went global, and honestly they are amazing (not upselling lol i dont even have premium, they are fully usable for fee like google maps). Their biggest strength is user generated content for navigation that gets aggregated as people use map and you actually see REAL roads people walk on, so you will not navigate into a dead end or a fence like with google maps. And i have no idea how they do it but EVERY country and the most obscure place ive been to, they show the correct route, always. Ans you have these modes like "walk more", sightseeing route, etc., not just go from point A to B

We went there last year, taking this longer more scenic route https://mapy.com/s/jahabadoco and it was pretty much paved all the way down (and beautiful). Also went there for the sunset and while there aren't street lamps, the twilight afterglow after sunset and phone lights were plenty enough to get us safely down without any issues whatsoever. It is not really a "hike" at all too, you can be in sandals or anything. Maybe you mean the ultra fast middle one which is not pavement but still very managable route with clear path. By the way, on an offtopic note, highly recommend mapy.com instead of google maps, absolutely superior in hiking routes/street even of paths that are not on google maps and pretty good durations estimates including elevation etc

"we were ready to descend [the mountain via] the ropeway station. ChatGPT said the last ropeway down was at 17:30, but in reality, the ropeway had already closed. So, we were stuck at the mountain top" The Itsukushima summit to town is like 30-40 min walk on a solid paved ground with signs and tourist photo stops all along the way down. If you are "adventorous" you can take a longer route that is no longer than hour and half if you want to see more of sightseeing. "Stuck on a mountain top" lol

Opera is using the same chromium blink engine as google chrome for over 10 years now. The only major browsers with something different is firefox's gecko and apple's terrible webkit in safari. Then you have sime obscure browsers like pale moon ans the only new interesting project that is going to stir things up is ladbird

For the price of subscription you can get pretty sweet deals on games you actually want to play in the store, since the game selection on the pass is very limited. And it's not like you buy that much to spend 20/30 monthly on average. In sun, you pay less, get to play ANY games you like and plus, the developers are not getting ripped off
