OrganicMaps is amazing. Strong recommend to everyone. I only recently found out about it.
-
Any details on why it's amazing? What does it do or doesn't?
-
- It has the map corpus from OpenStreetMap, so one of the best in the world
- It works offline - just download the desired maps onto the device
- That makes it really, really fast. Google Maps is slower
- You can also use it in areas with bad reception. I'm using it for hiking in the woods where there is no cell phone connection available
- I really like the UI - they are f.e. better at displaying house numbers and street names than Google.
- No ads
-
On the hiking note, it also shows a lot of trails. I used it to navigate to a trail head and was pleasantly surprised to see a rough outline of the trails I would be using plus some others I didn't know were there.
-
It even has water markers for longer trails where youd be hiking for weeks or months at a time. Sometimes those spots are dry, but you can clearly see water channels in the ground where it would be flowing.

Google's maps are decent and can also be downloaded to be offline...? But yeah, it seems like it's a nice alternative, especially if you want to be free from Google's grips.
-
As a cyclist, organic maps never told me to go on the freaking autoroute, but google maps did..
-
-
Maybe it's iOS specific but I had to go to a region and download the map to be able to search it, which is not great
-
It's the same on Android.
-
-
It shows me where the speed cameras are :)
-
Waze does that too + reported police, hazards
-
I see no benefit to using Waze. Openstreepmap works better.
-
Well i didn't know it existed so I would have had a hard time using it in the past, I just commented from my perspective that's not an advantage over what I already use
-
Waze isn't FOSS.

Same, I have recently installed LineageOS on my phone and was looking for various replacements for Goggle apps. What I really like about OrganicMaps is that it downloads the maps locally, so you can view it even if you aren't connected to the internet.
-
google maps can do that too though
-
IIRC At one point Google Maps would let you download a map for browsing, but you couldn't do offline navigation. Don't know if that's still the case.
Organic Maps does the routing on the device.
-
it's had offline navigation for years now
-
-
Thanks, I wasn't aware of that. I should have really had this information a year ago when I was constantly screenshotting Google Maps, LOL.
-
The feature looks made ugly on purpose though (compared to organic maps where you can just download the whole country or select more precisely what you want)
