        Can you search residential addresses in organic maps? I had to use some shitty address to coordinate converter before. In other osm based apps I mean

          Yeah it does, just tried it. The search is not forgiving in terms of typos tho. They also recently started supporting android auto(dont have a car so cant review) and it keeps getting great updates in general.

            Cool thanks for checking. I mainly bike now and junked my car so I couldn’t comment on Android auto either. The one I borrow has the stock head unit.

              Also check Osmand from F-droid. It uses the same openstreetmap but has more functionality.

              This is probably supported by google maps, but one thing i really love is being able to select intermediate stops when plotting a route. Really useful for longer trips. You can also import .gpx track files if you wanna follow a route you saw somewhere.

      Waze is owned by Google and is based heavily on Google maps now

        Yes, but I find the maps still get updated faster on Waze than Google, and volunteers are much more responsive to fixing errors

          Hey, you know when people say they prefer Edge or Brave over Chrome?

          That’s you

      Waze went to shit after Google bought it. I had to stop using it because Waze started changing my destination mid-route without warning.
