As a active OSM contibutor with 7k+ changesets, Organic is my favorite map app I use for years traveling around the world, also donated to them. Only use GMaps for finding businesses.
Tried CoMaps, saw no reason to migrate to it at all - why migrate to basically no-name app (in terms of popularity) which is developed by who knows who (not even a Maps Me or OM devs) if Organic is totally good, has updates, stable, works well and has no ads? Have no idea what is this ad talk to be honest.
OSMAnd is nice, but too cluttered, OM is much easier to use. Only cool thing is being able to get live updates to a map if you changed something in OSM, but never actually used it for real.
- ffaser5gxlsll 2mo agoI'm also a regular OSM contributor and I cycle between various apps/layers. I'm in the alpine region, regular hiker, and osm is the only map source I use (frankly, I find gmaps to be garbage for anything except looking up businesses). I regularly try comaps, but while it's pretty smooth at rendering, the detail is visibly lacking at anything except maximum zoom level. When enabling contour lines, it's cluttered and hard to read. I tried to use it a few times on hikes, and while it's still much better than gmaps, if you're looking for something to use on a hike as an actual readable map and not just something to follow directions on, I'd say bite the bullet and get osmand. osmand has indeed confusing interface, but the map rendering itself is excellent and can be heavily customized as needed. On the web front, tracestack and mapy are both excellent presentations.
