Is there an open street maps navigation app?

@EricCarroll @Julia there are a few, but as Julia mentioned, most navigation apps aren't very geared towards end consumers but there is 'osmand' and 'organic maps' for Android (coverage, accuracy will vary greatly depending how well and complete (many places are missing local businesses, addresses, places of interest, etc) your area is 'mapped' in OpenStreetMap. StreetComplete is a great and convenient way to help to make the information more accurate. Used it heavily during my last holiday. And profited from the fact that OSMand and OrganicMaps can also be used where there is no internet connection.  @ilumium @EricCarroll Something else, Iโm organising a #walk with a friend through the #neighbourhood I used to live. So I printed a #custom map from @organicmaps because #Google could not make head nor tails from what I wanted. @heesdaman It looks like this was printed from OpenStreetMap rather thank Organic Maps? Although it would probably be an interesting feature for @organicmaps to add.. ๐ @EricCarroll @Julia I think Magic Earth is the best one for driving and cycling. There are multiple other ones with more features for exploring places, but they donโt let you focus on driving as easily. |
@EricCarroll OSM is the backend of almost every map app other than Google - including Apple. But there hasn't been as much competition as I would like on routing/navigation. Valhalla makes interesting customizable navigation services on top of OSM, but it's not designed for consumers.
