Organic Maps or OsmAnd is out there, just saying.
Organic Maps is so fucking good, I keep so much of it downloaded as a backup for when I'm offline, because it just works. That said, I still use Google maps due to the reviews of businesses and traffic data when navigating normally, but it's good to know a great alternative is out there.
You might want to switch to CoMaps. Most developers fled there after the owners of Organic Maps showed shady behaviour regarding donations and the future of the project
I'll check it out. Any links to articles on the shady behavior?
Edit: CoMaps is like Organic Maps but better, regardless of the development practices, neato.
This is a good place to start reading :)
Wow, interesting stuff. Huge thanks for the tip off about CoMaps.
