If there's not on the F-Droid, on the google store is cool too.

I use OSMAnd~ for navigation, and the "expert" version of StreetComplete for surveying.

The official OSM wiki has a nice chart with android apps: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Android#Navigation (There are also non navigation apps somewhere else on that site)

As someone else already said Magic Earth is great as a direct google maps alternative, I use it in combination with organic maps which I find better when on foot or looking around on the map.

I mostly use Organic Maps for navigating and sometimes for editing stuff on-the-go.

I've used organic maps with some success

Thank you. Just moved to a new city, so I'm going to use the map a lot, hope it has good support for public transit.

Check put OneBusAway for transit. Its FOSS thats supported by city goverments.

Its unfortunately only usable in about a dozen cities, but if youre in one its solid. Available cities:

Rogue Valley, Oregon (RVTD)
San Diego, California (SDMTS)
Seattle/Tacoma/Puget Sound, Washington (Sound Transit, KCM, Pierce Transit, Intercity Transit, and more)
Spokane, Washington
Tampa Bay, Florida (HART)
Washington, D.C. (WMATA)
York Region Transit, Canada (YRT / Viva)

For German users, I would recommend Öffi. It's open source and has public transport information for basically every city in Germany. Hasn't let me down so far.

Thank you that's was I was looking for!

[–] InfiniWheel@lemmy.one 1 points 2 years ago

That's very specifically unfortunate as Organic Maps has not public transport support yet

[–] pootriarch@poptalk.scrubbles.tech 1 points 2 years ago

osmand has great map support. real-time nav for transit isn't an osm strength - i haven't seen an osm app that integrates live traffic or transit

I like OSMAnd for it's ability to work for almost any purpose you need it to serve. Besides that I enjoy Magic Earth (on Play store) as a Google Map alternative as it's UI is the cleanest.

Vespucci is great for editing.

It's pretty advanced though so maybe not for a casual user.

I use osmand+ quite a lot and like it very much
