I imagine certain features like Google Maps' different busyness indicators might be missing because otherwise that would require telemetry?

Osmand with some of these custom maps that add address data to the normal maps. It works amazingly and is also entirely offline.

I've been using Osmand for years, it works fine here in Denmark. I just use the standard maps.

Offline functionality used to be very important to me, but not so much anymore. Still I'd hate my map to stop working, just because I don't have good enough signal.

I find offline still very important. Great for travelling, mobile data, and reliability

But I also have a SD card full of music on my phone. And no cloud storage

Oh my thank you so much, this and no trafic data are my main 2 pain points with this app, now it's one less!

Also on F-Droid!

Why isn't that address data included in OpenStreetMaps and/or OSMAnd by default?

[–] Cinnamon3431 1 points 1 year ago

good question :( why not upstream the data?
