What maps app do you use

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

I used 1.5 year ago organic maps on Samsung galaxy S5, what do you mean? It's usable even on ancient devices, and is definitely the best FOSS maps out there

I think it might be to do with the layout of the roads here. It's not simply long highways and simple grids

I use OSMAnd. it just works so that's fine for me

Apple maps if you have that option. Probably not the best for privacy, but better than Google maps for privacy and better than most of the alternatives for navigation.

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?

[boomkop3@reddthat.com]

it comes up with very different routes compared to google, that much I know

OsmAnd rocks imo but Organic Maps is also great.

I don't really understand the logic, but there are plenty of reasons to not be using Google Maps, so I will give my two cents.

I have had the best luck with MagicEarth. I still use Google Maps sometimes when I need to use the most reliable navigation or if MagicEarth can't find something. When I was driving professionally I found out that sometimes MagicEarth (OSM) got residential addresses right when Google Maps did not but also vice versa. I have used HERE Maps (HereWeGo) in the past and also tried OSMAnd.
