I liked using it but 15€/year for navigation is too much for me. I’m going to stick to osmand now. At least osmand is open source. It has roughly the same features. It’s just not that beautiful. I paid for osmand btw. What’s your alternative?

Edit: And I like paying for osmand because it is open source.

    I like Organic Maps. UI is clear and simple-ish to use.

    However, it lacks quite a lot compared to the (cluttered UI of) OSMand.

    Edit: great mentality there. You could at least tell me the pros of your favorite solution and the cons of organic map before Downvoting me.

        Why? Is nefarious activity really occuring? It looks like from the linked article, small dev teams are more efficient. There is a scalability issue, governance, inclusion versus efficiency. I can understand in theory why they forked (and I’m switching to comaps), but has organic maps actually done anything bad? Can someone clarify? Is this nonsense what happened with maps.me?

      Anyone else wanting to move to CoMaps but procrastinating because they’d have to go about downloading the maps again?

        Ah, thank you for this article !

        Indeed, not a good project governance and not an project I should recommend.

        Uninstalled Organic Maps, and I will try CoMaps (or default back to OSMand)
