- globular-toast 6y agoYeah. I have used maps.me in the past, but osmand is much better. It's one of the few apps I subscribe to (I get more frequent map updates).
- leo010 6y agoafter osmand i wanted to use maps.me and understand that this pr. is really know what client wants
- alephu5 6y ago> OsmAnd fits description perfectly, you can place bookmarks, no account required, maps from OSM, offline maps which can be used even without internet connection. I love OsmAnd and have paid for the premium version. It's great for hiking or in cities when you can't guarantee an internet connection.
- rob74 6y agoYeah, I would have pointed out OsmAnd too, but you were faster :) I'm not a subscriber yet as the features of the free version are enough for me, but someday my conscience will probably guilt me into supporting them anyway...
- zelphirkalt 6y agoOsmAndroid sucked so badly with its seemingly hours of loading time. Search queries never worked well unless you entered exactly the string, including case and sometime whitespace. It would sometimes not find anything, unless I entered a useless whitespace after my words. In comparison to maps.me it is really really bad user experience and not to be recommended on any old phone. Your old phone will just laaaag and you will curse the search function.
- unicornporn 6y ago> Search queries never worked well unless you entered exactly the string, including case and sometime whitespace. This. OsmAnd is packed with advanced feautures but search is unusable which is unfortunate because that's how I'd usually use a map.
- orbital-decay 6y agoIt used to be the case, and I also avoided using OsmAnd in cities for years, but my recent attempt was far more successful. I think they finally fixed their search, at least I didn't encounter any issues with it lately. It's still definitely worse than most apps for hotels, stores, restaurants and so on, but is much less laggy anymore, and is indispensable for biking and pedestrian navigation as it shows every little OSM detail, unlike most other apps that focus on businesses.
- zelphirkalt 6y agoThanks for that updated picture. Next time I need an app like that, I will give it a second chance.
- jmnicolas 6y agoOsmAnd is great and it's what I have on my phone, however it has a very un-intuitive UI and I often have to search for what feels ages to find a particular functionality. It might be because I don't need a map often or maybe I'm just an idiot :)
- ce4 6y agoit has a very rich (or maybe feature laden) UI, that's certainly right. For questions and in case you happen to have a Telegram account, you can join Osmand's telegram channel with developers present! https://t.me/OsmAndMaps https://t.me/OsmAndMaps
- vinc 6y agoSame thing for me, I love OsmAnd and I paid to support it, but I'm frequently completely lost in the UI. I have used it for years and still I often need to kill it to be able to leave the menu. I think the main issue is that the app is not intuitive, so you have to sit down and take the time to memorize how to do stuff with it before you need to do it live on the road. And I've never done that, my bad, I really should take the time.
- lazyjones 6y agoI use Guru Maps for that. It's neat & fast...
- leo010 6y agoIn maps also have this functions so that I dont see arguments to change it
