    OsmAnd is like a Swiss army knife of navigation apps. It is amazing not only for driving, but hiking, cycling, horseback riding, boating... you name it! It is more difficult to set up than most other apps, but its versatility is incredible. It can connect to the car through ODB, show weather overlays, and many many things one doesn't even associate with a navigation app.

    Other than OpenStreetMap there is a phone app that lets you do routes. OsmAnd also supports CarPlay

    Offline, privacy-respecting, light and fast. Has so many importamt points of interest other than just businesses, such as drinkable water, toilets, benches, trash can, EV chargers, tyre compressors, etc. The app is great when hiking, cycling, or driving.

    Open Source, transparent and developed by the community. I am using it since its first Release a few months ago and I love it. The only Feature that is missing for me is PT

    As fluent, responsive and convenient as MAPS.ME, but without the blatant privacy breaches of MAPS.ME.

    No longer fully FOSS! Also many if not most active contributers left due to transparency issues!
