openstreetmap.org is a mappers website, not a map users website. It works great for mappers, but is horrible for people who want to use the map to find their way around.

I think the openstreetmap ecosystem really needs a better website for map users.

I see no benefit to using Waze. Openstreepmap works better.

First, google’s lawyers will not like that.

Second, in many places google maps data is not as good as Openstreetmap.

I use both OrganicMaps and OsmAnd. I find that OsmAnd is better for poweruser functions (like editing the map or recording a track), but OrganicMaps is a very simple navigation app that just works well.
