Tried it for while, works with GrapheneOS and Android Auto well enough.

What I absolutely can’t stand is the routing. It once tried to send me through residential Oakland on some Manhattan-grade staircase labyrinth instead of just taking normal streets.

One of the routing options in CoMaps is "avoid stairs". Not enabled by default. See ≡ → Settings → Routing Options.

(CoMaps is the open-source, non-profit community fork of Organic Maps.)

Honestly I've seen google maps suggest some absurd routes, especially to avoid 1 minute of traffic on the motorway.

Always best to double check the routing suggestion.

> Btw they (respectively, only one guy, Konstantin!) copy code / changesets from Organic Maps, while this is not happening the other way around.

Is anyone breaking any licence here? If not, then I don't understand this complaint.

>Be kind. Don't be snarky. Converse curiously; don't cross-examine. Edit out swipes.

>Comments should get more thoughtful and substantive, not less, as a topic gets more divisive.

>When disagreeing, please reply to the argument instead of calling names. "That is idiotic; 1 + 1 is 2, not 3" can be shortened to "1 + 1 is 2, not 3."

That comment is against the guidelines. You should make a new comment that avoids breaking the guidelines if you want people to see your criticism.

The offline-first approach is underrated. Most mapping apps assume connectivity as a given — Organic Maps treating it as a luxury is the right call for global users.
