OsmAnd is impressively capable (lemmy.world)

When I first tried OsmAnd a few years ago it was overwhelming, there is so much to customize.

I tried it again recently and it really impresses me.

My OsmAnd ski profile shows me slope for avalanche risk and 3D relief so I don't need Fatmap, plus OsmAnd let's you download 7days of weather.

OsmAnd doing routing on hiking trails replaces my need for Gaia.

Really impressive work by the OsmAnd team.

I contributed the "skiing" profile a few years ago :)

You pushed it to OsmAnd? Thank you!

I created the routing profile and put it online, some other person then took it and actually integrated it and got it merged. So, I did the fun part and they did the boring (but also important) work.

So I'm not able to claim the full credit, but close enough to get a lot of bragging rights.
