I’ve been using Waze for the past year but I just looked it up and realised that it’s also owned by Google. I tried using OsmAnd yesterday twice, but the first time I went through a tunnel it just stopped giving directions when I came out of the tunnel (a bug I assume). The second time on the way home, it took me down the wrong exit and I almost ended up at the airport!

Anybody have a better experience with other apps? I’ve just installed Organic Maps so I’ll see how that goes this week.

    For most people Organic Maps is the move.

    I love OSMand and it has become my digital pin board of places I’ve been to over the years. It can do a lot (for example I have a preset with sat imagery and a transparent topo map overlay for hiking) but it can be clunky, and a lot of cool stuff is hard to find and change in the menus.

      I love OSMand. It does exactly what a map should do. It doesn’t have these weird user unfriendly quirks that Here and Google Maps have that make them harder to use.

      I just have one problem with it, it gives some directions via notifications instead of voice, for some reason, which is baaaad when you’re driving.
