OpenStreetMap data is better for routing than it is for location lookups.
In the US, there will be the occasional problem where some local street detail is wrong, but things like inter-city routing work great. You can do it on device with several different apps, and there are several different providers selling route calculation as a service that use OpenStreetMap data.
- cbm-vic-20 4y agoThere's an Android app called StreetComplete that asks users to fill in information about stuff that's around them, and uploads it to OSM. For example, verifying street numbers on buildings, down to verifying the material the sidewalks are made of.
- stoicjumbotron 4y agoThis is the first time I'm hearing that OSM is better for routing. Will have to check on the available apps on Play Store and from the list given by @matkoniecz there is only mapy.cz which had the navigation and the app experience was subpar for me.
