HI all,

Sorry for spamming, but seeing that the other OSM-post got quite some traction, I wanted to point out that the OSM-community here is coming to life as well.

You can post your beginner questions into the newbie friday thread or brag about your mapping projects into the showoff sunday thread

At last, please post OSM-related content over there! We need to get this party started…

    That’s its strength and its weakness imo; the UI is not as clear as the Organic Maps’, and it feels relatively cluttered.

    Also, Organic is both gratis and libre, while OsmAnd is subscription based on iOS. It is a one time purchase on Android though, but that still means the full app isn’t gratis.

      I don’t mind paying for an app, but fuck subscriptions. It’s dirt cheap and all, but I still won’t pay for it.

      I’ll have a look at Organic though, that sounds right up my alley. If it’s open source, I can even have a look at raising a PR or two to pay them back.

        Organic Maps is indeed open source and available through f-droid/GitHub/Telegram.

        It’s actively developed and it’s UI is more easier to use than OSMAnd. The search accuracy is also way better than in OSMAnd, in which I often can’t find places.
