Hey all! I'm wondering if someone can help me pick between these two apps. They seem to be the most commonly recommended Android front-ends for OpenStreetMaps, but I'm wondering what the pros/cons/differences are. Thanks in advance!

(I haven't used osmand in a minute)

Osmand has a buttload of features but the UI is kinda complicated, whereas OrganicMaps has a simple UI but less features.

If you want car navigation I'd recommend MagicEarth because it has traffic info

For some people, not getting stuck in traffic is worth using proprietary software.

Are there any FOSS navigation apps with (paid?) traffic info?

[โ€“] max641 1 points 4 months ago

For traffic info, I would use Google maps. For other map related data, OSMand / Organic Maps.
