I really try to like these Apps.

But the OpenStreetMap's App sucks. I can't do a U-Turn on the Autobahn. And no, I won't break through a closed Exit. Is there any way to make it that it find a new alternative route when I "miss" or simply can't take the Exit?

I prefer OSMand over Organic Maps, because it has much more features, just the map renderer isn't as pretty.

But I mostly use it for pedestrian and bike navigation. But I think car navigation works very well as well.

Also, if the map data isn't so great in your region, you can try playing StreetComplete and help improve it yourself.

OSM is the Wikipedia of map data, and offers likely the most detailed cards that we have.

For me the UI was just almost unusable. While the features are very nice and mostly unmatched, there is just no way to find them. Also it really killed the battery of my phone. While hiking it was fine, but for real time turn by turn navigations my phone died in about 2h compared to 4 or so on other apps
