I tried OSM and it didn't bring me joy.
The maps are pretty nice but the navigation is terrible (at least on OsmAnd). I tried to use it in my car for a while but I probably ended up spending a third more on gas because the routes were so bad.
Yeah, it’s a cool idea, but IMHO, it’s going to need more members and a lot more money donated to the foundation for it to get really good. Good mapping is hard to do on the cheap. You need a lot of hardware and dedicated people.
You also need telemetry and analytics to improve your real time navigation, which is understandably a big no-go for many people in the open source community.
You probably don’t really need to know a who someone is to pull that off. You just need to know how quickly and effectively anonymous vehicles move through a particular area at a particular time. Cities have been analyzing this stuff with dumb cables and loops embedded in streets for decades.
It's great for trails
Do you use an app? If so which?
Organic Maps is by far the best client imho and it has a special outdoor layer when on trails.
Organic maps is simple and easy. If you want a power tool, OsmAnd is amazing.
I'd love to know too
