Try OrganicMaps (https://organicmaps.app) on Android. It's awesome!
it's nice, but its navigation/route finding can be pretty atrocious
This is my favorite front end for openstreetmaps. The only problem is I live in NJ and most addresses are missing. I usually just get coordinates from Google maps and add them manually.
Can you use this with Android Auto?
2nded! I really like it as a google alternative for maps and nav.
Only thing I consistently don't see well done are parks and other green spaces, where the boundaries are ill defined or missing. Other than that, also my mainstay
Try adjusting them on openstreetmap.org/edit, takes a few minutes at most
Will try, thanks
Oh wow, this is great! Thanks.
