Is open street map data pretty accurate? I don’t expect google mas level of accuracy but I think its important that I can rely on the maps when I don’t know anything about where I’m at
I did a month long trip around western Europe (Italy, France, Spain, Netherlands, Germany, Denmark and Sweden) and used Organic Maps as my only navigation app. Worked well for everything I used it for. Even the metro data was accurate. Also, in my home country, Estonia, it’s even better than Google Maps, because it has bike navigation integrated.
Can you provide a bit of info on it? What is it for and how does it stand out among the other apps or programs?
It’s a beautiful, FOSS, offline/local Google maps-like app for Android that uses Open Street Map data.
There are plenty of other offline/local map apps, some paid, some free, but they are nowhere near as polished.

That’s very promising to hear!
