Currently there's only 3 big players when it comes to maps. You've got Google, Apple and Microsoft. > > Let's try to make OpenStreetMap the best map there is. Go grab StreetComplete and start mapping your surroundings when you're out and about. > > All the data is under a public license and managed by a non-profit foundation in the UK. > > It's very easy to get started, and quite addictive.

Apologies if I'm missing something, but is there no live version? Do we have to download the local area? (OSMand)

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

Yes, you have to download the local area. Processing happens on your phone.

Organic Maps is a bit smoother to get started with but I'm very happy with OSM& now I have it set up as I want and was also glad to have it when renting a boat on vacation. If you're new, try Organic Maps first.

Yes, Osmand is for offline use, download the area(s) you need. Same goes for OrganicMaps.
