Comment on Apple is reportedly getting ready to introduce ads to its Maps app

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.

Sadly, finding businesses and traffic data are 99% of the reason I open google maps. I have organic installed, but I’ve since found out that “I want to go somewhere I don’t know the way to but have found out the street address some other way, and I don’t care about the traffic in between” simply doesn’t happen.

  It happens for me when I’m offline and the stupid Google Maps downloads didn’t work. I don’t even bother with downloading Google Maps any more, I just use CoMaps instead.

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?
