Greetings! For the past few weeks, i have been using Apple Maps for navigation. Only to realise that it does not have some specific places i go to regularly. And offline maps are just broken. And since i’m here, what are the best FOSS Map apps that have offline navigation? (i did try osmand and maps.me, theyre both paid)
Organic Maps is FOSS, supports offline navigation, and has an iOS version. It uses OSM maps you can download as needed.
I’ll take a look at it. Thanks!
I personally use organic maps and osmand. Organic maps has traffic which makes it probably your best bet for online navigation but osmand has heaps of more advanced features including topography, weather, osm editing if your into volunteering, Wikipedia and heaps more.
Like everyone else is mentioning, Organic Maps is probably an excellent option.
Personally, I also rather like Magic Earth, although it’s sadly not FOSS. But it does have crowd sourced traffic info, and imo a better search ux.
I made a list of open source software that you can use in the future when looking for software! My list recommends OpenStreetMap, OsmAnd, and Organic Maps under the “Map Services” section.
Now, that’s a great list with a lot of my preferred software on it – almost as had I written it myself! Good work. Keep it up.
I also suggest organic maps but I also wanted to say that OSMand is actually free
Nope. Last time i tried osmand, it just asked me to pay.
Also:
Pretty sure that’s a plus subscription for if you want to support them. It gives you hourly map updates and weather and other stuff hardly anyone needs. But you can use the app fine without it.
I still prefer Organic Maps though.
aw nvm I guess that’s an iOS thing
Yeah i was gonna ask “are you not using fdroid?” but yeah, just apple things i guess.
I like Magic Earth better than Organic Maps for carplay.
Magic Earth isnt FOSS though, which was specifically requested by OP
