On the journey to degoogle my life and wanted to ask if the community prefers OSMAnd+ or Organic Maps for driving navigation. I got OSMAnd+ but now started to hear some really good things about organic Maps. Was wondering if I should consider switching.
They both get their data from Open Street Maps so it really comes down to which you prefer. Try then both.
Thanks, I just did a quick test and it seems that organic Maps is still not available for Android auto. So will probably stick with OSMAnd+ until I can get rid of my Android auto dependency. I looked at GitHub and it seems that they are working on Android auto support so hopefully it will be ready soon. Keeping fingers crossed 🤞
Does OSMand+ have Android Auto support?
Yes, OSMAnd pro version supports Android Auto.
Tried it earlier and couldn’t get it to work. Is it a special version from the Play Store or their website that includes the Android Auto support or something?
You have to enable developer mode in Android auto, add OSNAnd and then disable Android Auto to have it appear as an option. The instructions are on OSMAnd website. I followed those instructions and it worked. I have the FDroid version so not sure if it’s different for the Google Play store version.
I’ll check that out thanks.
