      You people do know osm exists right? Just use something like organicmaps then you have navigation and routing even without cell network.

        Can you search residential addresses in organic maps? I had to use some shitty address to coordinate converter before. In other osm based apps I mean

          Yeah it does, just tried it. The search is not forgiving in terms of typos tho. They also recently started supporting android auto(dont have a car so cant review) and it keeps getting great updates in general.

            Cool thanks for checking. I mainly bike now and junked my car so I couldn’t comment on Android auto either. The one I borrow has the stock head unit.

              This is probably supported by google maps, but one thing i really love is being able to select intermediate stops when plotting a route. Really useful for longer trips. You can also import .gpx track files if you wanna follow a route you saw somewhere.

        Yes, but I find the maps still get updated faster on Waze than Google, and volunteers are much more responsive to fixing errors

      Waze went to shit after Google bought it. I had to stop using it because Waze started changing my destination mid-route without warning.
