I tried osmand~ from f droid (which is essentially the paid version) and for browsing it works great. Navigation was pretty bad however. I had a lot of issue where when I click to find a route to an address it would get stuck and never route. Also in my testing, it would take you some pretty bizarre routes where I couldn’t trust it. I am unfortunately back to Google maps that I dowloaded through the aurorastore using as anonymously as I can without any Google account on my device.
While OSMand has taken me through some scenic routes, rather than more direct routes, Google Maps had me exiting and re-entering highways for fun!
Check the navigation routing options in OSMand, because that will influence how it routes you.
I literally travel the world with it and it worked fine for me perfectly fine most of the time in places where I woulden’t expect anything to work fine .
In line with my experience, tried it to plan a route around northern France this summer and it got stuck a couple of times. Essentially, it tried to route me back to a position earlier in the route and would not recalculate, resulting in me going in a circle twice. Especially annoying if you are on the motorbike and cannot just restart the navigation mid-ride. Switched to the openstreetmap app, their navigation never did such a thing to me. Very weird since the projects seem to be somehow related
It works fine for me but i need it while driving. Does the app lets you use android auto? The one from fdroid has purchase feature (google billing) removed so need to download from playstore to purchase the app.
