I tried this on a trip a couple days ago and had to go back to Google. It wasn’t giving me street names or exits in the navigation. It’d say take the next right instead of take exit 17 for example. Completely missed a fork and didn’t tell me which way to go. Google has issues too but first impressions for organic was not positive.

For car navigation use Magic Earth. It’based on Openstreetmap too, Han has the best routing algorithm I found so far (yes, better than Google).

I’ve been using Tom Tom for a week and I’m gonna say, it’s doing the job. It could be better though. I’m hoping that some better app comes along otherwise I’ll just go back to Waze and use a dummy account on it or something.
