Id recommend osmand over organic maps
Did Osmand change that bullshit where if you changed your device you can fuck right off with your previously bought maps and pay for them again because they didn't tie them to store account
Osmand would be the best one if it wasn't so slow. Compared to organic maps the rendering lag is not only noticeable but very annoying
Organic 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?
Contributing by updating roads and POIs is fairly straightforward and can be pretty fun ^^ https://openstreetmaps.org/edit
Of 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.
I 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.
Personally 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
