@smallcircles Yes, you CAN ditch Google Maps, but @organicmaps is not (yet) a full replacement. Mostly because of: It has advantages: But I have to use Google Maps from time to time, because of one of the disadvantages. However no Google Maps user ever has to switch to @organicmaps for any of its disadvantages. 8 comments
 @sebsauvage @movodehe @smallcircles @organicmaps I once had it lead me to a McDonald's that had been torn down years before. When I got home I *fixed it*. From my phone. Using open source software (Vespucci). I didn't check how long it took for Magic Earth to pull in the change from OSM, but it wasn't more than a week. That's pretty damn cool.  MagicEarth does a pretty good job. They have several map updates per year. And the application - although not as light as OrganicMaps - is pretty light and runs well on older phones. @sebsauvage @freakazoid @movodehe @smallcircles @organicmaps it does not seem to be an open source app, does it?
 @movodehe @smallcircles with your donations and support we can implement anything. It’s just a question of time and resources. @organicmaps @movodehe @smallcircles Would love to have a browser version so I can edit my saved points and tracks. It would be much faster for planning trips. Love the app |

MagicEarth is a good alternative.
- also based on OpenStreetMap.
- can work online or offline.
- includes public transport (requires internet connection)
- contains live trafic too.
- routing is fast.
