What are you using for navigation. I used to really like Waze but since Scroogle took over it's slowly gotten worse and of course Scroogle owns it.

I have tried organic maps but very few places have addresses in the system. It would just show me how to get to the street. Feasible on shorter streets but still not very useful.

    I'm using what's most accurate, popular and free (so I could use burner accounts). In my country, at this moment it's Waze.

    Hatehavingtojoinanotherwebsite I'd recommend OSMand. It's the most feature rich open source solution you're going to get and pretty powerful once you get the hang of it.

    You can make edits to your map if anything is missing.

    This is probably going to be the best you can get.

      Can somebody please kindly point me at recent source code for OSMAnd~ since it is supposed to be open source? Until then I'll side with Organic Maps.

        Don't get me wrong, I like OpenStreetMaps a lot, but for foot navigation, especially mountain hikes. But in Europe, I consider it useless for car navigation:

        • has no distinction for street types - you could end up on a dirt road
        • no street signs - no speed limits, no speed traps.
        • no line assistance
        • in my city one-way streets change all the time, and OSM is too slow to update
        • no paid roads avoidance, and no way to add paid tolls
        • no traffic/congestion, no alternate routes with time estimates.
        • no quick search for fuel, parking, hotels on the route.
        • no enough users, so no warning about police, road works, accident, etc.
        • maybe I'm not smart enough, but I'm not able to find anything in POI search in OSMAnd

        Magic Earth works for me and is supposed to be private.

        de0u thank you. No there isn't, although I wonder why they don't provide any releases. This would be my preferred source.

            DeletedUser69 I wonder why they don't provide any releases. This would be my preferred source.

            Who?

            The app developers provide releases via various app stores. They also have a page full of download links for various releases.

            OsmAnd~ is periodically built by F-Droid (with various things removed) and source snapshots are provided there.

              OSMand is all I use for driving. If you take a bit of time and learn how much can be configured with it you see how feature rich it can be. You can use under-over lay maps on the base. This includes topos, satellite, hike trails etc. They have color distinctions for paved, gravel, or dirt roads etc. This just touches on things but advanced features take user input to config. They also have paid premium features if you want.

                Nobody premium features exactly. I will take no advice from nobody. Eat onion or better still, garlic.

                    No worries. You will nave no concerns of getting my assistances with anything at all. I very much enjoy onions and garlic. A shame you feel the need to be so disagreeable.

                        Nobody Every now and then I feel the need to do regrettable things and say words that put me to shame. I have to live with it and please forgive me for that. I am trying to learn from my mistakes, though this doesn't protect me from making new ones. I'll just have to try and make them less often, sorry you happened to be in the way at that moment. This in no way alters the quality of OSMand software.

                            DeletedUser69 thank you. We all do these things from time to time. I certainly have found myself trying desperatly to pull words back said in hast. Its all good. You being willing to state that shows far more about your character than your quick words that preceded them. Its a very rare positive character trait online these days. We are absolutely good.
