After the news that Google maps will rename the gulf of Mexico to the gulf of America I finally decided to change maps app(not confirmed).

What recommendations do you have? What to look out for?

      I used 1.5 year ago organic maps on Samsung galaxy S5, what do you mean? It’s usable even on ancient devices, and is definitely the best FOSS maps out there

        I think it might be to do with the layout of the roads here. It’s not simply long highways and simple grids

      Huh really? I haven’t had that issue. But we might be totally different use-cases; If I’m routing, I’m usually in major cities mapping a route via public transit. I quite like OrganicMaps for this, because it’s still quite stable in underground subways when internet is sus.

      edit: To be clear, I haven’t noticed issues when I map for driving either, but I’m admittedly not driving a crazy amount.

        Organic maps doesn’t appear to know public transport exists where I live. We have been trying out different apps for bicycle trips
