What maps app do you use

[stomata@sh.itjust.works]

Open street map with organic map

[pogodem0n@lemmy.world]

Organic Maps. It is quite fast and I really like its UI.

[bpev@lemmy.world]

• For directions, I use OrganicMaps.
• For location bookmarks/pins, I'm currently building an app, so I use that.
• For checking business information, sometimes i'll still use google maps

[whatsay@slrpnk.net]

Besides organic, I use watch duty (fire tracking), MyRadar (weather) and waze (driving)

[drunk_aparition@lemm.ee]

Waze is owned by Google...

For my ebike I use OSMAnd with Brouter

Organic maps takes next to forever to plan a route for me, if it manages at all

[boomkop3@reddthat.com]

Hola Facilmaps works! I'll be trying it out some more soon

[boomkop3@reddthat.com]

What the pizza?

OsmAnd~ is really good and feature rich but a bit complex. I use it because it has very good navigation with the public transport where I live. I tryed Magic Earth, it's simpler but at some point it stopped suggesting me navigation with the public transport here. And if you don't need public transport suggestions try Organic Maps, it's very simple.
On Linux- Marbel by KDE or Gnome Maps.
If I need to check something on the map I just use OpenStreetMap in a browser.

Huh really? I haven't had that issue. But we might be totally different use-cases; If I'm routing, I'm usually in major cities mapping a route via public transit. I quite like OrganicMaps for this, because it's still quite stable in underground subways when internet is sus.

edit: To be clear, I haven't noticed issues when I map for driving either, but I'm admittedly not driving a crazy amount.

[evotech@lemmy.world]

Google maps

Organic street maps just don't have good enough public transit integration where I live

[monovergent@lemmy.ml]

Organic Maps. Living in a somewhat walkable area, it gives me good walking directions. I might be a bit out of touch though since I just commit routes to memory if I'm driving.

For the occasional satellite map, Google Maps unfortunately. If anyone knows of a privacy-respecting map with satellite views, I'd be interested.

For car navigation: The in the eOS implemented Version of Magic Maps.
Im using it on a daily basis in a professional Context and in my Area (Hamburg, Northern Germany) it works as reliable as googlemaps. (My colleagues are using gm)
Traffic-Data is mostly not that accurate. And if you need information about special Adresses like opening hours, ill just look it up otherwise, like on their websites.

For Navigation by bike or for hiking I use the paid German App "komoot". As a bike Commuter - its the (in my opinion) by far best app for Biking
But to be honest, I dont know their privacy rules. And i cant tell if they have a translated version for their app

[boomkop3@reddthat.com]

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

[flork@lemy.lol]

eOS implemented Version of Magic Maps

link?

[lemmus@szmer.info]

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

[boomkop3@reddthat.com]

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

[ju135@lemmings.world]

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

[xapr@lemmy.sdf.org]

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.
