What maps app do you use

[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

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

[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.

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
