After the news that Google maps will rename the gulf of Mexico to the gulf of America I finally decided to change maps app(not confirmed).

What recommendations do you have? What to look out for?

  • For directions, I use OrganicMaps.
  • For location bookmarks/pins, I'm currently building an app, so I use that.
  • For checking business information, sometimes i'll still use google maps

Organic maps takes next to forever to plan a route for me, if it manages at all

I used 1.5 year ago organic maps on Samsung galaxy S5, what do you mean? It's usable even on ancient devices, and is definitely the best FOSS maps out there

I think it might be to do with the layout of the roads here. It's not simply long highways and simple grids
