- c2lsZW50 3y agoIt's much snappier and has (in my opinion) a good, modern and intuitive UI, but lacks lots of features compared to OsmAnd, for which reason it's not ready for my use cases (for example, it doesn't even support official trail hightlights/styles.
- ianburrell 3y agoI use Organic Maps on my iPad where it is great for viewing maps. My phone has OsmAnd+ cause the extra features are useful for adventures.
- RetroTechie 3y agoIt's more lightweight than OsmAnd - install size & startup / rendering is quicker. For storage that won't matter much as the maps take up way more space than the app (eg. NL map ~1 GB). OsmAnd has many more features & settings. Some useful, but (imho) more often getting in the way. For example I've had many times where I accidentally placed a marker on a map, and there were 1001 things to do with that marker, except... simply delete. Or (on OsmAnd) you change a setting, to find it only applies to a specific map. Again: may have its uses, but too fiddly for my taste / usage. Otoh: OsmAnd has eg. points of interest, which can show nearest grocery stores, gas stations & so on. Veeerry useful. Organic Maps doesn't have that (yet?) afaict. OsmAnd appears to be updated more often. Not sure I'd call that a feature, tbh. It would be nice if apps like these could share map data. Anyone know if that's possible / easy, and if so, how?
