    Organic maps is probably my favourite osm app for general use. I still have OsmAnd for various purposes, and I use Magic Earth when driving for the included traffic calculations. I hope that Organic Maps can generate some traffic data in the future. Though, I imagine for it to work well, some sort of open sharing of traffic data would need to happen to avoid fragmentation between apps.

        As Kilgore said, it isn’t FOSS. And while it’s hard to prove, they claim they don’t collect any user data, and instead make their money through partnering with businesses.

    If only it had support for public transport. In theory it would be my favorite OSM app but I can’t really use it without support for that :(

    I’ve been looking for something like this! So far I had an open street map bookmark but this is way better for when I’m hiking. Other commercial maps sucks for hikes.

      I still prefer OsmAnd, far more feature, and at least you can ask it to avoid a specific road. Organic Map cannot.

        I use both. Osmand+ allows me to contribute way more efficiently with PDIs and GPS traces as well as editing existing features, but when I want to navigate, I prefer Organic Maps. I also like more their rendering since it’s faster across all my devices. They are both useful apps. My main gripe is with the data in my area, as everyone uses Google or Apple’s data we struggle with contributors.
