I’ve been using Waze for the past year but I just looked it up and realised that it’s also owned by Google. I tried using OsmAnd yesterday twice, but the first time I went through a tunnel it just stopped giving directions when I came out of the tunnel (a bug I assume). The second time on the way home, it took me down the wrong exit and I almost ended up at the airport!

Anybody have a better experience with other apps? I’ve just installed Organic Maps so I’ll see how that goes this week.

    I used MapFactor many times during trips.

    You can either download free maps from OSM or paid maps from… I think it’s TomTom? Or is it Garmin? I forget, I’ve never used them.

    Anyway the interface ain’t that friendly, but there’s a LOT of points of interests, and there’s live traffic if you have internet access. It has a few cool features too. It can be used via Android Auto and can even use your phone screen’s reflection on your windshield as a HUD!

    The only caveat is you have to download the maps and they can take a lot of storage space depending how large an area you need.

    Edit : yeah it’s TomTom
