This Explains Why Organic Maps was Temporarily Taken down from the Google Store

I use Organic Maps and OsmAnd. There are two things both suck at compared to Google Maps. First one is search. They are really bad at quickly finding local addresses. Maps whittles it down to local first which fits my use cases better. And the second one is POI data, like businesses and their info. For other POI it's fine, but I usually am looking for local shops and their opening times and open source apps just don't have that data.

It's perfect to me. The version I have from F-droid does forward-is-up when you click "start" after doing a route, but I prefer north-is-up, so I don't click start, and it behaves exactly as I prefer.

It's the first OSM-based map app I've used that can navigate to a number on a street, and it does it perfectly.

The search works perfectly. I live on, lets say, 123 fake street w. If I search "123 fake st.", or "123 fake street", or "123 fake street w.", the correct result always comes up.

It has frequent enough updates to correctly route around road work.

I've struggled through many other open source mapping tools for smartphone since 2013, because I refused to use a proprietary app. This is the first one I recommend to everyone, including non-freedom-minded people.
