A little confused, is this basically the same thing as Open Street Maps, just in app form?
Comment on Apple will reportedly start stuffing ads into the Maps app

They use OSM as source for maps, yes.
Not sure how much they add, aside from offline functionality.
Other apps add extra data sources.

Yep it uses a selection of the most important data from OSM because the entire thing would be too huge to keep on your phone. You download the map in sections so region/city based but you can also just get an entire country which will be a few GB.

I’ve looked at apps like these and weirdly it’s just map you can search through. There’s no turn by turn directions.

It very much has routing, route saving, turn by turn instructions, voice instructions and more. Idk what you mean.

I couldn’t get it to work. Is it only in Europe that works?

I dont use apple devices so i cant test it, but i thought it would be identical to the android experience.
