Organic map is crazy fast. I just wish it has trafic data but after a few weeks using it, that's not a big difference in the end.

Traffic isn't too bad where I'm at, but I find myself missing satelite images and streetview, both for exploring and locating garage entrances or anything else. Having said that, and thanks to my buddies here on Lemmy, I successfully eliminated over half of my proprietary phone apps and shoved all the remaining proprietary stuff in a single folder so I would only access it after trying the FOSS alternatives. Anything that has a web portal instead of an app is going next, and that includes Google Maps.

Organic maps is great, OSMand is great if more detail is needed.
