  Openstreetmap is really good…except for the detailed information about shops which is why I still use Google Maps if I need to know opening hours and other information.
  OSM is just not widespread enough to be on the radar of shop owners to put their information on it themselves so volunteers have to do it. :/

  I have been testing OsmAnd for daily use today, and I’m gonna be closing my maps presence in the coming months :-) . I was really happy how it worked and felt, very close to what I want. After some extra tweaking, it’s bound to be fantastic!

  Is there any alternative that works well on android auto?

    Maybe organic maps?

      Thanks for the reference. Will try it out. Always had issues using openstreetmap for some reason. This seem more integrative rather than have the navigation app and the actual map being two separate entities.

        Yeah, it’s worth a try. The usability depends on the trips you take and other factors. You need to download the maps beforehand.

      It seems that ir doesnt have android auto version.

      Since I updated my lineage version all gps apps that i’ve tried crash on android auto :(
