I’ve installed and been fiddling around with OsmAnd~ for a few days now. And I have to say it is dense. It has way too many details and it feels overwhelming.
For all its faults, Google Maps works really well when it comes to showing information. More and more details are shown as you zoom in.
That’s not the case with OsmAnd.
So much detail is on the screen when I’m looking to just get an idea of the region and I don’t even know where to start.
How can I make it look like Google Maps? Maybe I’ll be able to use that as a starting point and configure it further as needed?
Thanks.
I did OSMand and CoMaps for about a year. Got so sick or having to look up addresses on search, use an online tool to convert addresses to coordinates, and then having no traffic information in the app.
Both app systems are almost there but it was too much friction even for me.
Solution? CoMaps for everyday, gmaps in private space on Grapheme for when I need to not be hassled with the above annoyances
Scrolled down many comments to find yours!
OsmAnd has built-in address lookup and Comaps (and most others I tried) does not.
I would honestly rather use Comaps than OsmAnd, but having to find the longitude and latitude of an address using a different website and then plugging that into Comaps was way too much work. (And the address wasn’t always found anyway.)
I would gladly pay for a Google Maps alternative but I recently tried Magic Earth and was unimpressed and didn’t find it worth paying for.
