minus-squareBlisterexe@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·1 year agoId recommend osmand over organic maps
minus-squareThe Quuuuuill@slrpnk.netlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·1 year agoPersonally I been using organic maps because Osmand isn’t giving me better directions and it needs more permissions and it doesn’t have working voice directions
minus-squareexplore_broaden@midwest.sociallinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·1 year agoI don’t like how OsmAnd limits the number of maps you can download for free, Organic Maps’s donation model is much better in my opinion.
minus-squaregedaliyah@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·1 year agoOrganic Maps is fine. It’s what I use, although I am not located in a great area for OSM. Are there any specific benefits to OSMand?

minus-squaregedaliyah@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·1 year agoOf course! I do that all the time, and I agree it’s fun. OrganicMaps uses the same data, I just find it a little simpler to use and clearer to read.
