So, what's the point of Organic Maps or maps.me? The latter's website just say "download and prepare for adventure", like some sort of app for route preparation?
It's a mobile map and navigation app which uses OpenStreetMap data
Where i live, Organic Maps has way better walking directions than Google and Apple Maps, and it’s a lot more respectful of privacy than at least the former.
