    You people do know osm exists right? Just use something like organicmaps then you have navigation and routing even without cell network.

      Can you search residential addresses in organic maps? I had to use some shitty address to coordinate converter before. In other osm based apps I mean

        Yeah it does, just tried it. The search is not forgiving in terms of typos tho. They also recently started supporting android auto(dont have a car so cant review) and it keeps getting great updates in general.

          Cool thanks for checking. I mainly bike now and junked my car so I couldn’t comment on Android auto either. The one I borrow has the stock head unit.

            This is probably supported by google maps, but one thing i really love is being able to select intermediate stops when plotting a route. Really useful for longer trips. You can also import .gpx track files if you wanna follow a route you saw somewhere.

        I heard that before but google maps just has vastly inferior map data. Especially if you go outside to touch some grass. Google maps + hiking is an instant combo for getting lost.
