- Doctor_Fegg 12y agoThere are plenty of free offline maps on Android. This is just Here arriving late to a party started by OpenStreetMap.
- sz4kerto 12y agoI have tried many of them (the most popular ones at least), and I found HERE to be way better -- not because of the map data itself, but the look and feel of the app and also the quality of navigation is better than the rest (imho). I tend to use it instead of Google Maps as well. Re. Windows Phone: I think that if a cross-platform service gains foothold (on Android) then it's good for WP. If GMaps is the de facto mapping solution (as it is more or less), then GMaps not being present on WP is a deterring factor.
- lucb1e 12y agoTrue, OsmAnd is not very user friendly, but I've used it for over a year now and I can't go back to anything else. Its user interface problem is just that it's so packed with features... but once I get used to them I don't want back.

- buro9 12y agoThe OsmAnd Android app has had that for ages using OpenStreetMaps.
