    Comments about OsmAnd as an Alternative to Google Maps
    Comment summary: OsmAnd is praised for being feature-rich and privacy-focused compared to Google Maps. It offers offline navigation, open-source availability, and supports various activities like biking and skiing. Additionally, it has a strong focus on privacy, with a better policy than Google Maps, and no data required for navigation. However, some users find its interface disorienting and its learning curve steep due to the vast array of features.

    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

    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!

    Fully FOSS (free/open source software), Privacy focused, works offline (i.e. everywhere and low battery usage), smooth navigation, extremely easy to use, can even edit/add POIs to the map, directed by community and not corporate interests/profits. And OpenStreetMap data it uses is open and anyone can contribute.

    The option to have offline maps that don't expire is a plus.

    I'm searching for a replacement to Google Maps. I mostly use it for live-time public transportation routes and schedules. Unfortunately, HERE WeGo couldn't even get close to a reliably accurate account of the regular schedules in the Canadian city I live, let alone in live-time.

    It feels familiar to Google Maps but simplified! It seems to be trustworthy and private.

    Good alternative to Google Maps on mobile while based on OpenStreetMap. Allow more fine grained access to data usage and give feedback during data consumption. Routing works relatively well.
