What’s your go-to OSS navigation app? I’ve been trying the three in the title. CoMaps is a fork of Organic but Osm seems to be its own thing. Honestly haven’t seen a reason yet to prefer one over another besides Osm’s pretty bad name.

For transit I use Transit, it’s not OSS but the company aligns strongly with me and I like that their employees get four-day workweeks: https://transitapp.com/vision However if there’s a OSS alternative I’m not aware of I’m always willing to try it.

For finding businesses I would not expect much… there seems to be no good answer that isn’t Yelp or Google Maps, and of course that kinda goes by the nature of crowd sourced reviews and information. I have GMaps WV but it’s kind clunky and I just ended up falling back to Maps unfortunately.

    Osmand for everything except car navigation. Magic earth is a little bit better for that but I hope osmand gets there as well

      OsmAnd won’t get there without live traffic data, but for that to work the users have to accept live location tracking. Magic Earth’s traffic data depends on active users allowing the app to collect location, direction and speed in order to create a real-time traffic flow estimate, exactly the same way that Google Maps does it. I seriously doubt that this feature will be added to OsmAnd anytime soon.
