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)
Organic Maps is FOSS, supports offline navigation, and has an iOS version. It uses OSM maps you can download as needed.
+1 on organic maps
Gets regular updates and improvements. They recently added (slightly experimental) track recording.
You can easily import bookmarks and tracks.
You can also edit osm data if you have an account and see something outdated like opening hours.
Supports TTS instructions for handsfree navigation if your phone has TTS installed.
Have a look on Organic Maps (https://organicmaps.app) or OSMAnd for example (https://osmand.net/).
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.
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 also suggest organic maps but I also wanted to say that OSMand is actually free
