You can share links with anyone, and they don’t need a particular app to open it. The interface will be familiar to Google maps users. It supports leaving reviews for locations. It will pull up Wikipedia information and photos if any have been uploaded to Wikimedia or Panoramax. It’s really good for public transit routing. It’s okay for planning driving routes, but for turn by turn directions you’ll want to use CoMaps (which Cartes has a link to open up the route there).

minus-squareCitrus_Cartographer@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·15 天前Web based. You can “install” the Web App, but it doesn’t seem to allow for any additional features that I can tell. For offline modes, CoMaps and OsmAnd+ are my go to.
