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.

    Do people not like Organic Maps anymore? I used that for a long while but none of the people on here seem to recommend it. I will admit, it did handle street addresses poorly to certain locations. But it was much better than OsmAnd.

      I’ve used Organic (now CoMaps) for a while now. Mostly been great. Interface is so much faster than OSMand (slow rendering) or Google maps (no networking needed).

      Driving route planning doesn’t know about traffic, so it’s always optimistic about time.

      Some rural towns in my country disappear unless you zoom in more, which is a pain sometimes.
