MODERATORS
Can anyone recommend some good Android map apps that use this? I would love to switch!
There is not one yet, the dataset got released yesterday. But you can use an OpenStreetMap based map Organic Maps f-droid PlayStore
And if data is not available on that then maybe it's time to contribute on osm as well, thanks to StreetComplete!
Organic Maps is really good but beware that it doesn't have lane assistance on highways which can prove to be dangerous imo.
Anything for iOS yet?
OsmAnd works on iOS too
Hmm, looking at it, it even supports Android Auto! Neat!
