Hell yeah, this is cool. Anyone have experience using O Maps or CoMaps for day-to-day navigation? I’ve never thought of going FOSS for this sort of thing, I would love to give Google one less piece of my data.

It doesn’t have traffic data, which is probably the biggest disadvantage. The maps are user contributed, so the quality varies widely. Depending on where you are, it’ll be ridiculously detailed with individual bushes in a park, or it’s incorrect or outdated and you can’t find your destination. I usually use this or OSMand, but I still keep google maps on another profile as a backup.

There’s magic earth that does traffic and similar to waze but since no one uses it around me its more great

I use magic earth, and it is inaccurate with traffic most of the time. Still, it is accurate sometimes, and most of the time I just need the turn by turn because I already know where there will be traffic on most days.
