      It has a better car navigation interface and some nice features like traffic amd live events data, but it really looks like it’s update much, if any at all. Organic Maps is a little more barebone, but it constatly gets new features

      I significantly prefer it for car navigation, it seems to always pick ‘more sensible’ routes than Organic Maps. Also the live traffic is very nice to have.

      I prefer Organic Maps when I’m on foot, ie. walking through the city or hiking. Imo it feels less cluttered when you just want to look at a map.

      Edit: Another big plus for Magic Earth is transit support. It’s not as good as Google Maps, but it’s certainly better than nothing.
