    For me the UI was just almost unusable. While the features are very nice and mostly unmatched, there is just no way to find them. Also it really killed the battery of my phone. While hiking it was fine, but for real time turn by turn navigations my phone died in about 2h compared to 4 or so on other apps

      Well, in that way it is a classic open source software, very powerful but a bit difficult to use.

      I rather have features I need hidden behind a cryptic interface, then not have them.

      I also normally carry around a power bank, and sometimes have to recharge my phone at lunch, when using it intensively. That seems just normal to me at this point.

        Yeah, if you need those features. In my experience it’s often features only a very small fraction of people need that are cluttering the UI and make it impossible to find the features I actually need.

        Full brightness and streaming map data all while having turn by turn navigations on. Also the app I am using is still not using the default rendering engine so probably less optimized than possible. With everything else I have no problem getting through a day with plenty of battery left
