Greetings! For the past few weeks, i have been using Apple Maps for navigation. Only to realise that it does not have some specific places i go to regularly. And offline maps are just broken. And since i’m here, what are the best FOSS Map apps that have offline navigation? (i did try osmand and maps.me, theyre both paid)
I like Magic Earth better than Organic Maps for carplay.
IMO Organic Maps. I’ve used it for years now and it just works and it has a great offline navigation (you can download the areas).
Contributing to OSM through the app is quite easy too, so you should consider contributing the places you often visit that are not yet on the map. That helps the community too :).
Tho for some places I couldn’t find I’ve used Apple Maps to get the coordinates.
I made a list of open source software that you can use in the future when looking for software! My list recommends OpenStreetMap, OsmAnd, and Organic Maps under the “Map Services” section.
Like everyone else is mentioning, Organic Maps is probably an excellent option.
Personally, I also rather like Magic Earth, although it’s sadly not FOSS. But it does have crowd sourced traffic info, and imo a better search ux.
I personally use organic maps and osmand. Organic maps has traffic which makes it probably your best bet for online navigation but osmand has heaps of more advanced features including topography, weather, osm editing if your into volunteering, Wikipedia and heaps more.
