Best android mapping app?

What are the best android mapping apps that work (without crashing all the time) with Sailfish X on the Xperia phone. Here is ok but doesnt have any maps of Japan so wont work for my situation, OSM doesnt work either only approximate maps of Japan.
Maps.me used to work well prior to Rollout of Sailfish X at which point the app doesnt even launch the first time anymore.
Specific qualities of a nice mapping app:
- Quick in catching GPS signal or current location and being responsive,
- To meet step 1 most likely needs to be an offline map,
- Have pedestrian and public transport directions, not only Car Centric,
- Maps not only in Europe and Americas,
Here WeGo.

Also, I second that Maps.me works on Sailfish X flawlessy, so it should be possible for you to get it working. I have version 8.0.7 installed.
