Let’s build a useful collection of must-have F-Droid apps!
CoMaps. Google Maps alternative. Can save paths and do navigation with TTS. Gets its data from the amazing OpenStreetMap.
What’s the difference between this and Organic Maps?
Why use this app instead of OsmAnd?
ETA: Rereading, I realize this could have sounded very rude and sarcastic, I apologize - it was a genuine question.
On-device routing and the map rendering is way faster in CoMaps.
OsmAnd has way more features.
If you just need basic navigation, I tend to go to CoMaps
I was a long time OsmAnd user, I loved that app. After a couple of years I realized, I really liked the cusomizability, but in the end, I use like 5% of it’s features. I gave Organic Maps a try (now Co Maps after some community drama) and it was love at first sight. It’s the opposite is OsmAnd, a lightweight and super simple app to look for places and navigation. I miss like one, maybe two features, but I the usability is great and I won’t look back.
Thank you, I’ll give it a look.
OsmAnd is a great app for powerusers. CoMaps is a simpler, and more user friendly.
For me, I have both of them.
co-maps I use when I need to add a place to open street map, and OSMAND I use for features that co-maps doesn’t have.
Basically, co-maps is easier to use for things that it can do and OSMAND is harder to use but can do more things/different things.
That sounds cool. I’ll give it a look.
How would you say the OSM editor is better in CoMaps than Osmand?
There is one big friendly button to add place to osm in comaps
