Does this support Android Auto? That’s the only reason I use maps.

I’d like to use this opportunity to promote Organic Maps, yet again

I think it does, yes. At least it does support CarPlay on iOS, so I guess the functionality on Android is also there.

I’m pretty sure I did see something pretty recently about Android auto support.
Personally, I prefer to use it without being connected.

I do like that it’s available offline, but does it have live traffic if you’re online? Waze has informed me about many a traffic jam and helped me circumvent them. Plus road closures, etc.

Live traffic would require tracking everyone like Google does.

Can be handled anonymously but then how much do you trust the server?
It should also be opt-in

+1, also recommend StreetComplete alongside it. Makes it easy to add data to OSM, in many cases (parks, etc) this data can be made extremely detailed.
For instance, my first use case was adding house numbers around my neighborhood to OSM, because I couldn’t search for my address on Organic Maps
