    Google Maps is an ad platform. It exists to connect people with businesses, not to help them enjoy the places they live.

    OpenStreetMap, on the other hand, is community-driven. Most contributors are local, and their priorities are different from those of corporate interests. Mappers often map public spaces in great detail, providing huge value to non-drivers.

    Is there a list online showing which apps use openstreet maps?

        I thought I would give Organic maps a go a few day ago and it’s really good. I really like how it extrudes building to give them volume, rather than most map apps rendering them flat.

    I recently found out that Street Complete let’s you download data and use it offline when you’re out and about and I love it!
