• In 2023 Organic Maps got its first million users

  Had the same experience, and ended up being satisfied with Magic Earth[1]. I tried more or less every major navigation service (paid and "free"), and I ended up sticking with it. And no, I'm not affiliated in any way; just wanted to share a recommendation because I was in the same boat. [1]https://magicearth.com. - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

• Does your city have the bicycle route option for Google Maps? Mine doesn’t.

  Don't bother with Google Maps. Not just for cycling but also for driving. There's better options like Osmand or Magic Earth that actually use a map instead of a yellow pages for navigation. Source: over 1 year ago

• Migrating from iOS, deciding if installing Calyx or Graphene on Pixel 4a

  Try Magic Earth for a Google Maps replacement (you can try it out on your iPhone now and download via Aurora Store on CalyxOS). It’s better than Google Maps in many aspects (except public transport and looking up places, but you can easily use separate apps for that, namely the app/website of your local public transport company and a search engine/Yelp/TripAdvisor).

• 2024: The year of the OpenStreetMap vector maps

  There is a beta of Organic Maps for Linux. Check out bottom of this page: https://organicmaps.app/ I would still want to to know if I can selfhost something of similar, low complexity in my home network. - Source: Hacker News / 2 months ago

• Apple Maps wrongly lists restaurant permanently closed, costing owner thousands

  I live in a country in Europe where roaming is prohibitively expensive, so use offline OpenStreetMap abroad a lot, with different apps, mostly https://organicmaps.app. - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

• Quairading shire erects signs telling travellers to ignore Google Maps

  Https://organicmaps.app/ is well suited for (completely) offline routing. - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

• Osmapp – A Universal OpenStreetMap App

  Personally I am using [organicmaps](https://organicmaps.app/) which is using OpenStreetMap data, and it works really well. - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

• Why do maps apps have essentially no caching?

  Organic Maps is offline until it needs to download updated map information from Open Maps data. https://organicmaps.app/ Search just finds whatever matches sorted by distance so it may not fit one's needs. - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago
