    Organic maps is great. Google maps needs data to open even when you have offline maps stored lol

    Organic maps is just damn great, the default any time I need to use map for routes or just whatever on phone

    Also osm (and Organic maps using osm) has so much better coverage for smaller trails and forest roads than gmaps it’s crazy

    I use this for everything except driving. Organic Maps also makes it easy to add new new points to openstreetmaps :)

    For driving I use Magic Earth. Not open source but their privacy policy states they don’t sell your data or store PII.

      Seems like Organic Maps aren’t saints either.

      Apparently the recent lack of updates on F-Droid is due to them including referral links for hotels and refusing to remove it or make it an opt-out feature…

      Here’s a relevant issue if anyone’s interested: https://github.com/organicmaps/organicmaps/issues/7218

      //edit
      Looking at the discussions it’s even worse, the devs try to argue that F-Droid is being unfair and referral links shouldn’t be “misclassified” as ads…

        Yeah they advertise no ads, but then have referral links to Kayak in their app. Seems like the main devs have gone off their rockers.

      I tried using Magic Earth and especially the driving mode is great and sometimes it worked flawlessly but I regularly had freezes and crashes. Do you have any issues with it?

        No unfortunately I haven’t had crashes during my 2 years of using it, running on LineageOS with and without microg.

    If you like Organic Maps.

    Consider installing StreetComplete , it makes it very easy to contribute to OpenStreetMaps!

    Has anyone also used maps me as a comparison?

    That’s what I usually use, I haven’t heard of organic maps until recently.

    I just wish they would have android auto. It’s been years since it was a summer of code thing and it never gets done.

    My quibble with it is the way that parks and such aren’t properly delineated. And they disappear depending on your zoom level
