Yes, Osmand is definitely clunky by comparison. But the UX is getting slowly more intuitive. I see no reason why Osmand’s easy-peasy defaults mode cannot end up equal to to OM. They’re not far off, and at that point its superiority would be clear as day.

Personally I wish the OM devs could have contributed their talents to making Osmand better. Really feels like wasteful duplication which benefits nobody benefits except the egos of a handful of developers. A common problem with FOSS and this is a great example IMO.

I wish Organic maps would add some of the features from OsmAnd. I want the ability to select a part of the map to avoid.
