I've used OrganicMaps in the past, but for searching POIs and ahead route planning its just unusable.

Meanwhile i've found GraphHopper, an open source search, route and (experimental) navigation app from Germany. Great thing: its blazing fast! Check it out on F-Droid.

Also check out Adresilo which uses Maps api to find a location then can feed it to the app of your choice.

I tried this for my hiking trip and it is really good for that. But when i tried to use it as a navigation tool with my motorcycle it lagged pretty much all the time and couldn't keep up with my position and speed. I tried to change permissions for the app, but so far nothing worked.

I use Magic Earth for navigation (mainly through Europe). That works beautifully for me - even offline.

"My bike is too fast for GPS" :D

[–] [email protected] 6 points 7 months ago

That's a shame. I just want to say that this issue is definitely not universal as I use it for navigation while driving and it works very well for me, and I've heard the same from others too. I'm not sure why it isn't working as well for you.

is it true that harmonyOS's upcoming release won't be compatible with android apps?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

According to Wikipedia:

HarmonyOS NEXT (Chinese: 鸿蒙星河版; pinyin: Hóngméng Xīnghébǎn) is a proprietary distributed operating system and a major iteration of HarmonyOS, developed by Huawei to support only HarmonyOS native apps. The operating system is primarily aimed at software and hardware developers that deal directly with Huawei. It does not include Android's AOSP core and is incompatible with Android applications.

God I hope not. OpenHarmony is a neat project.
