Has there been any progress on the actual map data? Last time I tried Organic Maps the places I wanted to go didn't come up in search, and when I planned a road trip with it it planned the trip hours longer than Google maps.

You could use Streetcomplete to fill in the missing data yourself.

This is sick. It makes mobile updates to OSM nice and easy. Thanks for sharing!
