    Lacks a great amount of the features that osmand has, but has a much better rendering engine allowing for smooth panning around the map without the constant unloading/reloading and flickering of OsmAnd. Also has an integrated way to make minimal contributions to the OSM data, which OsmAnd doesn't have.

    Search is better than OsmAnd and can find exact house numbers.

    OrganicMaps has much less features than OsmAnd; especially important if you use it for hiking or cycling and care about extra details like surface quality, lit status, etc.

    Uses the same data as OSMand, but has less features. So since OSMand is free and open source, I can’t really see the point on mobile. If you need an “OSMand light” on the desktop, and use Gnome or accept Gnome libraries, it’s certainly better than selling your data to Google though. :)

    Looks VERY promising! Full convergence support with adapting Interface depending on window / screen size. Navigation, OSM profile integration, POI display.

    OF course it cant yet be compared with OSMAnd but may be in the future.

    Modest Map is a Javascript library, not a software/app such as Osmand (even though Osmand embeds an API)
