That sounds like an issue with the underlying OpenStreetMap data that is used by Organic Maps (and CoMaps, and OsmAnd, and others). Map quality depends on where you are in the world and who is contributing to the maps there. If data is incomplete around you, you could contribute to it (but easier said than done, I know).
I can't say why the route would be hours longer than Google maps, but I've noticed OsmAnd~ tends to overestimate drive time for me (I think it overestimates delay from traffic lights). Or it could just be that calculating routes on your phone doesn't always give results as good as calculating routes on Google's servers.
God forbid you make a wrong turn with OSMAnd, the recalculating time is atrocious, and it's not unlikely that you're unable to stop, so it recalculates based on where you were, or in such a way to where you can't follow it's new guidance.
-
Traffic data kind of requires driver tracking data to be sent to the cloud, which usually goes against the philosophy of projects like this. Unless they're obtaining it from a third party, I doubt it'll be a feature they implement.
I think it would be fine if it were opt-in, but then you wouldn't get enough data to get accurate traffic estimates

Linger on*
Have the primary contributers moved to CoMaps as well?
-
found it but was super limited. went into developer settings and enabled unknown sources but it didnt change the options. did some searches but cant find any way of really doing anything about it without rooting my phone. so meh.
Someone needs to develop an open source replacement for android auto and really stick it to Alphabet

I use Osmand, how does this compare?

For me its much simpler to use and more straight forward. That being said, I feel like osmand allows you to be much more precise when selecting a route. But I havnt really used osmand that much

you are not kidding, this one is driving me crazy. no pun intended.

Best there is! I was using OrganicMaps and now CoMaps. Such a good seemingly genuine piece of software.

Has there been any progress on the actual map data? Last time I tried Organic Maps the places I wanted to go didn't come up in search, and when I planned a road trip with it it planned the trip hours longer than Google maps.
You could use Streetcomplete to fill in the missing data yourself.
-
For me Tracks appears ruptured, any fix for that?
Pleae report that on on their repo (with a logfile too) instead of here.

This is sick. It makes mobile updates to OSM nice and easy. Thanks for sharing!

I can't get it to work with Android Auto on GrapheneOS. Any pointers?
-
Do we think traffic data will ever be available for a project like this one? Or maybe it already is and I just don't know.
-
Nice and simple. But in public transport it says "U-Bahn (metro) not yet available in this region" (Zurich). Guess that's future content.
Yea, Public Transport is not so good in Comaps, but it's planned to make it better https://codeberg.org/comaps/comaps/issues/299

Holy crap, this map is awesome. They have the grills, picnic tables, even all the ski lifts on the ski hill.
Don't care if the graphics look like they came from the 90s. I love the details

That's OpenStreetMap data for you - come check out the project if you'd like!

Switch operated with success.
Export locations from OM, open kmz file with comaps, done.How do you export locations from om? can't find anything in the settings

OsmAnd seems to do this.
They predict traffic patterns based on random UUID. I don't know how it works but it seems to be default on.

Will this finally include transit?
