This is more geography than science but I often use Open Street Map because it shows local road numbers (which aren't indicated on Google Maps or OSI's maps), trails and paths, things of local interest such as antiquities, sculptures, parks etc. It's also the map provided free by most hiking apps. OSM is open source, which means that just like Wikipedia, the public can edit it, or even build a new customised map for their own use based on it. However there can be errors (just like on Google Maps). I had to get GM to include the canal from Naas to Corbally, because half of it was missing, and have rerouted rivers too which were in the wrong place. I've always liked maps and have been correcting the errors on OSM over the years for Kilcullen. If anyone wants to check and make corrections, you can view OSM here.
