Organic Maps is the best open source Maps App I've ever tried
It's essentially an open source fork of maps.me by the original creators.
I've been using OSMAnd for years, but it always felt laggy and not that reliable. Searching was slow and so on. Many street or things it didn't instantly find.
In the Graphene App Store I jnust discovered Accrescent (another app store thing but only with like 10 apps - they're all gold though, god damn)
An in there I found organic maps. And this shit is google maps level responsive. If you're on the lookout for a google maps replacement - consider trying this.
It is great. But too bad for me - I live 40km away from the nearest town, in the forest of northern Sweden. So the coverage here is quite not so good. Practically all I see is the main road.
I second magic earth for driving. The only reason I haven't entirely removed Google maps from my phone yet is because magic earth doesn't have data on business hours. This is the last killer feature I'm waiting for.
In the meantime I'm routing for any open source map that can do live traffic and business info.
They collect location of their users but anonimize every data on device, they can't track anyone personally. They also sell their SDK to businesses and collect data from there as well.
Yeah, you can see that organic maps is sadly not there yet in terms of driving-interface, but hopefully its getting there soon.
Afaik the app is far younger than magic earth and for what it is its super good. I'm so stoked to see how organic maps is gonna develop in the coming years
Organic Maps is my goto solution for car navigation because it is very quick, responsive and does not require an high end phone. It just works. However for anything more advanced than that (e.g. live location sharing or recording, planning a hiking trip, navigating mountain bike trails, contributing to OpenStreemMap), OSMAnd is still without contender.
I just started using it, and I would say it's even snappier then G Maps. I was pretty skeptical at first, and it does have a few things I miss, like public transport live updates, but I can use the app of the local provider for that and in my experience G Maps can be quute inaccurate anyway. No way I'm going back now. You need some space to preload the maps though.
Depends what you mean with "doesn't do". I haven't used Organic maps that much yet, but OSMand can handle street numbers. So Organic maps should too.
However it handles them very poorly, you have to type the address in a certain way or it won't recognise the number in it. Sharing from another app works pretty well most of the time though.
