I wish OsmAnd had the rendering engine of OrganicMaps. That would be a killer app.
Right now, osmand on my phone is virtually unusable.
I slow down, and as if I were stepping on egg shells, I still try to use osmand because of its wikivoyage and Wikipedia integration. But seriously, not caching off-screen rendered vector tiles make it feel like an app from the 90s. It's feature-full, but redraws on each user interaction. :-(
Organic maps is super fast, in comparison. Their open communication on Telegram makes the project look even more sexy.
- tetris11 3y agoSame. I used OSMAnd for years, both out of a sense of civic duty, and because I thought vectors would be superior. Loading and rendering those vectors on a 6 year old phone though, woof. I still miss the OSMAnd features though: tracking my rides, altitude/speed/gravel metrics.
- xigoi 3y agoHave you enabled the new renderer? It's still worse than Organic's, but much faster than the old one.
- kmarc 3y agoI have been using the new renderer since it was available as a hidden beta feature. Parts of rendering feel smoother but it's painful to watch how streets are redrawn. I also live in a very densely mapped area, which definitely affects rendering performance. Very remote places / not well mapped areas (South America, Laos, Eastern-Europe) render somewhat better, but nothing comparable to Organic maps or StreetComplete
