After the news that Google maps will rename the gulf of Mexico to the gulf of America I finally decided to change maps app(not confirmed).

What recommendations do you have? What to look out for?

    Huh really? I haven’t had that issue. But we might be totally different use-cases; If I’m routing, I’m usually in major cities mapping a route via public transit. I quite like OrganicMaps for this, because it’s still quite stable in underground subways when internet is sus.

    edit: To be clear, I haven’t noticed issues when I map for driving either, but I’m admittedly not driving a crazy amount.

      Organic maps doesn’t appear to know public transport exists where I live. We have been trying out different apps for bicycle trips

        Hmmm I’m not as familiar with how routing works with OSM, but I wonder if those transits routes show up in other OSM apps, or if Organic Maps is flitering/sorting that in a way where it isn’t used? Like is the data missing, or is the app doing something poorly?
