Hey all! I’m wondering if someone can help me pick between these two apps. They seem to be the most commonly recommended Android front-ends for OpenStreetMaps, but I’m wondering what the pros/cons/differences are. Thanks in advance!

    Proprietary is not some evil demon. Sure open source is better, but it’s just one bullet point in a pro/con table.

      It kind is, though. Proprietary doesn’t mean paid; I’ll pay for OSS apps. Proprietary means they won’t release the source code, and this is bad for a whole bunch of reasons. But the reason that gets my goat is that it’s almost guaranteed that proprietary app was developed with open source tools, and probably uses at least some open source code. I fucking hate hypocrites.

        who care too much about Free software

        There’s a difference between caring and caring too much. I care about eating healthy. Doesn’t mean I never eat anything unhealthy and immediately throw people who try to eat a sweet out of my third-floor window.
