  Yea it’s clunky as hell and unusable for driving, but as a browsable walking map it’s the best

        I’ve had some good luck but it definitely needs some work still

  I use my eyes and generic sense of orientation.

  I’m also a happy osmand+ user, but once i got lost in the middle of a field / bush. I’m sure there was a tail once, but not safe to follow. Said bush was not very dense, so we though multiple times: Ok, this could be the way. Or that path?

    Was the same for me this vacation. Gladly we were on a smaller mountain which was completely surrounded by villages, so we knew that just going down the mountain would lead to a bus that could bring us to the hotel, so we didnt care that much.
