It’s essentially an open source fork of maps.me by the original creators.

I’ve been using OSMAnd for years, but it always felt laggy and not that reliable. Searching was slow and so on. Many street or things it didn’t instantly find.

In the Graphene App Store I jnust discovered Accrescent (another app store thing but only with like 10 apps - they’re all gold though, god damn)

An in there I found organic maps. And this shit is google maps level responsive. If you’re on the lookout for a google maps replacement - consider trying this.

    I’ve used organic for several hikes. What was missing?

      Here a a few things that I miss from OsmAnd:

      • adding more than a handful of routing points is tedious
      • you cannot plan partially or fully independent from existing roads
      • no way to save and restore a planned trip
      • no overlays for hill shading or incline visualization. Very useful for assessing the effort of a route.
      • no public transport support. Very useful for planning a trip with transitions.
      • no rain radar
      • satellite view
