I use OSM and Organic Maps, but I have difficulty searching by address or business. I end up using my computer, finding the location, matching it to the map in the app, and favoriting it. Am I doing this the dumb way? Is there an alternative FOSS navigation app which has this functionality?
Honestly, don’t know why their search is so broken but it’s a damn near unusable app for that reason. I keep it on my phone for the offline map but it’s almost worthless. If anyone can guide both of us on this, we and our privacy would be in your debt.
I unfortunately mostly use https://f-droid.org/packages/us.spotco.maps/
Look I know it’s not Foss and I hate it with a passion. But I had to have good gps the other day. Google maps told me the police was up ahead and like 20 or so people said the police was still there 1 minutes ago. I was like damn. Now Google tells you where the police is 😂
I use HereWeGo. it has traffic and decent search and POI databases. plus it has offline mode.
I live in Chicago, which uses a grid system. Apps are unnecessary for in-town trips.
