Even on higher end phones OSMand is unbearably slow compared to organic maps.
Yeah I gave up using it when it crashed when trying to create a route across several US states.
been using it for a few days now. searching for an adress by number won’t work very well, and if a parking space is public or not can be inaccurate. as well as most businesses in my area not being in the app at all
but it has potential. they should make it easier to find out how to even contribute at all though. i can’t code, so doing changes via pull requests(?) is out of the question.
overall, usable/10

maybe the reason why the US has so much worse Openstreetmap data than Europe is because taking a walk and noting down info about your neighbors’ houses will either get you run over or shot)
Don’t be an asshole. The US has its problems but this is not one. There are lots of strangers that do house to house things.
i’ll try that one out, always glad to help a FOSS project out if i can.
Streetcomplete is not for buisnises or POIs, try Everydoor
Map data isn’t built by organic maps themselves but is based on the open streets maps project. It’s kinda Wikipedia where anyone can edit any data. This means that anyone can contribute information. You can easily edit from the https://openstreetmap.org website. As others have pointed out, streetcomplete and everydoor are 2 good applications for contributing from an android phone.
Organic maps updates its maps data every month, so it takes a while for contributions to become visible.
To make contribution easier, you can try StreetComplete app

Or through a web app

The maintainer refuses to change the goofy 3d direction pointer per requests.
I’ll wait til they fix that.
I don’t really know what your talking about but I think almost all mapping applications have a pointer to show you your current location.
Anyway the important thing is to use free software. If you have a alternative that you like better you should post it in this community.
