Organic Maps does everything Google Maps does (except traffic conditions)

I really doubt that’s true, but I’ll give it a shot… it doesn’t seem like they position it as a good tool for driving directions, which is my main use case. Lack of traffic data is sort of a big part of that. How well they keep up to date based on things like road construction and changes is important, too.

I also recommend StreetComplete (fdroid), an app that lets you contribute to the OpenStreetMaps database. It shows you a local map and asks questions like, how wide is this road? What kind of road is it? Is there a pedestrian crossing here? What kind of parking is here? How do power lines attach to this pole? etc.

I’ve been trying to fill in the data around me. It’s not there yet. But I’m trying.

And I’m not in some backwater area. I’m just outside Chicago and when I go into the city I’m still filling things out.

No traffic data is a deal breaker for me.
