the biggest problem I have with switching is that Google Maps is a business directory. open street maps is empty where i live. it works okay for navigation, but not so much for finding a coffee.
Yeah trying to find anything on any of the competing apps is basically impossible. I mean ffs OSMand literally couldn't do address lookup!
I have found Organic Map's search to be far better than OSMand. OSMand has far more features though.
You'll need to first download the relevant section of the map downloaded to be able to search it, though.
