Organic Maps is the best open source Maps App I've ever tried

It’s essentially an open source fork of maps.me by the original creators.

I’ve been using OSMAnd for years, but it always felt laggy and not that reliable. Searching was slow and so on. Many street or things it didn’t instantly find.

In the Graphene App Store I jnust discovered Accrescent (another app store thing but only with like 10 apps - they’re all gold though, god damn)

An in there I found organic maps. And this shit is google maps level responsive. If you’re on the lookout for a google maps replacement - consider trying this.

Byeeee

In Berlin it was missing some public transportations like tram

It is nice app but the problem is it doesn’t show Czech hiking and cycling routes by default. I didn’t figured out how to enable them.

    Not sure - but you contribute stuff pretty easily. I already added a few of my favorite places in my town

    It is great. But too bad for me - I live 40km away from the nearest town, in the forest of northern Sweden. So the coverage here is quite not so good. Practically all I see is the main road.

    It’s open street map data. If there isn’t mapping info for your area, you can fix that.

    You can actually contribute to it. There areso.me great mobile apps for this. I recommend Vespucci for in detail changes(creating new structures or editing their properties) and Street Complete for filling missing information.

    It’s my go to! Also check out the !open_street_maps community

    Edit: sorry, it looks like the more active community is !openstreetmap but I guess you can join both lol!

    I always felt drawn back to G-Maps until a few months ago when a friend recommended this app. Organic Maps is gorgeous!

    Downloaded because of this post, it is very good!

    tootnbuns OP ,

    After a few days of use - as a cyclist - I only have one note. I’m missing the cycling style option from OSM. That’s a real game changer right there.

    so i opened this app for the first time just now and entered my address, but it only went to my street. when i tap my house, it just says “building”… is there no residential support?

    imblue ,

    Depends in where you live. For instance in Germany house numbers are associated with the building but in France house numbers are their own object. The Idea there being that one should map the location where the plate with the houseumber is, and not the building(s) its associated with. If you dig throug osm map forums or issue trackers you’ll find the dispute resurfacing every now and then.

    tootnbuns OP ,

    Fuck me this thread really exploded

    Specifically for Prague (ha! I’m here now) mapy is insanely good

    100% agree with this post. Mostly using google maps now for car route planning (still unbeatable in rerouting in case of car accidents etc. afaik).

    I just started using it, and I would say it’s even snappier then G Maps. I was pretty skeptical at first, and it does have a few things I miss, like public transport live updates, but I can use the app of the local provider for that and in my experience G Maps can be quute inaccurate anyway. No way I’m going back now. You need some space to preload the maps though.
