Greetings! For the past few weeks, i have been using Apple Maps for navigation. Only to realise that it does not have some specific places i go to regularly. And offline maps are just broken. And since i’m here, what are the best FOSS Map apps that have offline navigation? (i did try osmand and maps.me, theyre both paid)

I personally use organic maps and osmand. Organic maps has traffic which makes it probably your best bet for online navigation but osmand has heaps of more advanced features including topography, weather, osm editing if your into volunteering, Wikipedia and heaps more.

I made a list of open source software that you can use in the future when looking for software! My list recommends OpenStreetMap, OsmAnd, and Organic Maps under the “Map Services” section.

Now, that’s a great list with a lot of my preferred software on it – almost as had I written it myself! Good work. Keep it up.

I like Magic Earth better than Organic Maps for carplay.

That’s not strictly FOSS.

Magic Earth isnt FOSS though, which was specifically requested by OP

Have a look on Organic Maps (https://organicmaps.app) or OSMAnd for example (https://osmand.net/).

Great recommendations. Just an FYI, your second link is broken because the markdown got messed up.
