I’ll come accross as rude but regardless just use organicmaps.org

OSMAnd is just a white elephant at this point.

Something very expensive to maintain, but not very useful. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_elephant

Actually I translated badly from French. I mean it’s a very cluttered app that tries to do too many things. On long routes the battery consumption is really high, in order of 1% per minute if you put in a route that’s more than 1000km long.

It doesn’t seem that slow to me.

Maybe you could try Organic maps

Because they render the map offline (and have a slow render engine)

I think their main focus is on features. If you want fast, you might want to check out @organicmaps@fosstodon.org.

Make sure that you’re using the "Version 2 (OpenGL) map rendering engine in the OSMAnd settings.

Using offline maps can also help, but I’ve never found it to be smooth like Google Maps (from years ago that I was using it).

I’m using an older Samsung Note, and don’t have issues with the speed. It has improved quite a bit from maybe 2 years ago.

I just realized that the Version 1 renderer feels much snappier for me.

Just tried it, and it’s unbearable on my device. It may also depend on what map layer(s) you’re using, and the device capabilities.

V1 was the previous render engine, when pretty much everyone complained that it was too sluggish. LOL

Looks like V2. That one shows the grid for not-yet-rendered areas

I wonder if it’s a cache/internet issue. Yes, zooming to extreme levels causes some delay. But scrolling through a map zoomed at a reasonable level should catch up very quickly on both offline and online map layers. At least, it does for me, and my phone is like 4+ years old.

This is an offline render, internet speed shouldn’t have any effect.

The lack of caching of previously rendered areas is annoying.
