    Organic Maps is open source, beautiful and private. The app uses map data from Openstreetmap.

      Ah right. So it’s like a front-end alternative UI to OSM, basically?

        Yeah, and very good one especially when it comes to cycling and walking routes - including forest trails, but I’m also using it for navigation when driving. Damn solid piece of software

        Exactly, yes. One key difference in android v/s OSMand is that organic maps’ route calculation is way faster.

          Holy shit, just had a look at their Google Play entry and I fucking love how highly responsive they are to their users. Definitely gonna download it and give it a go.

          Sunshine, consider yourself one user closer to overtaking Reddit xD

              Hi! Also a long time user of OSMand+ I’m going to have a look, but I have some questions for the community

              1. Does this app work as well for all parts of the world? I’m in Europe
              2. I have a subscription to OSM (just to support them). Would that be lost if I use this app?

                Thanks for all the answers. Final question, just out of curiosity: Why are two apps developed? Why not simply make the osm app better?;

                Yes, it covers all the regions and Europe’s has the most detailed maps in openstreetmap especially Germany.

                I have a subscription to OSM (just to support them). Would that be lost if I use this app?

                No, as it uses the same openstreetmaps database to power the app. So you can continue to donate.
