Exactly, yes. One key difference in android v/s OSMand is that organic maps' route calculation is way faster.
Holy shit, just had a look at their Google Play entry and I fucking love how highly responsive they are to their users. Definitely gonna download it and give it a go.
Sunshine, consider yourself one user closer to overtaking Reddit xD
Your welcome <3, I'm glad you're impressed with the team, those folks work hard!
Hi! Also a long time user of OSMand+ I'm going to have a look, but I have some questions for the community
From Europe: Works perfectly for me (and why wouldn't it, it's just OSM)
Yes, it covers all the regions and Europe's has the most detailed maps in openstreetmap especially Germany.
No, as it uses the same openstreetmaps database to power the app. So you can continue to donate.
Thanks for all the answers. Final question, just out of curiosity: Why are two apps developed? Why not simply make the osm app better?;
Osm does not have an app as it is a database that third party apps use.
Who developed the OSMand+ app then?
Oh I thought you were talking the osm database.
