Sadly there is no browser view, but they have selection of app stores on their page for the app (and IIRC they are working on a desktop version).
It has routing, searching, more map details (e.g. park benches, trash bins on the map), OSM editing, and pretty slick look in my opinion.
I recently switched to Organic Maps after learning about it here on Lemmy and haven’t touched Google Maps as much. I know it is not a perfect 100% replacement, but while it lacks certain things (e.g. public transport, but I use local public transport app anyway for better accuracy), it has so many features google lacks:
- hiking trail overlay that is more up-to-date
- stores maps on your phone in vector format (offline use is so much nicer)
- privacy focused
There is more to this than I know and write here, and probably many here already know about Organic Maps since there was the whole fiasco of google removing this app from play store awhile back, but thought it’s cool that the company behind it is in Estonia (man I still remember Skype, thanks Estonia ❤️ I’ve spent so much time on skype before it was aquired by Microsoft).
Edit to add extra info from website: Company is based in Tallinn, Estonia - Organic Maps OÜ
I just wish they had some way to host photos as well. My main use of maps app has been to understand what a place looks like/whether I wanna go there, or myself add some photos so others can. However, I do fear this would require strong moderation and a lot of overhead on platform like Organic Maps, unless they utilized a rather small select community for contributions.
I have hopes that in the future they will add such a service but not directly, but rather integrate another FOSS service for this (like their map information pane is often wiki text + link to the full wiki article).
I’ve found some I’ve been meaning to look at whether they are truly FOSS but I’ve been too lazy. My latest bookmark from these kind of services is kartaview: https://github.com/kartaview
