  • rapidly losing stars, what a mess.

    we do mot need a dozen 'profiles', no one does. no one. I really wish osmand would revise the settings on this app. messy to setup. settings don't 'stick'. it is not as anonymous as they'd like you to think. Navigating the app jumps around, theres no real 'back' button. Frustrating experience. Trying magicearth , organic maps , pocketearth (better for everything, wiki is free, but seems abandoned).

  • I wanted it to work

    So sad since I really love the concept. I’ve personally mapped 2 new subdivisions to add to the maps. With this app the issues are with Car Play: 1) The map continually rotates in circles as you drive 2) The speed limit indicator showing up is sporadic 3) Voice turn by turn works so infrequently that it surprises you when you actually hear one 4) The visual turn by turn directions only somewhat work - the turn indicator is correct, but the distance till that turn frequently gets stuck and doesn’t update for miles. 5) Current speed indicator doesn’t work at all

  • CarPlay

    Downloaded the app and plugged into car, map shows up blank but with a locator arrow visible. Couldn’t figure out why the map didn’t show up properly. Went into options, found and clicked “enable CarPlay,” then see I the option is locked behind a purchase/subscription. Irritating that there is no way to try this feature without purchasing, and nothing that I saw upon opening the app that this wasn’t included.
    I don’t mind paying subscriptions but it’s annoying when I can’t even try something out before buying it.

  • Great but I’m not smart enough to use it

    So good and so much potential. Needs to be run through a filter of someone without a software engineer program. A little complicated

  • Australian user

    This app does not work properly, does not show up speed in towns and city areas have sent request after request to show how to bring up speeds on map as they have said it will do they just tell me to look at instructions, if you follow instructions still will not work.
    Also asked to tell me why widget features don’t show up on screen, got told they have not upgrade program.
    This app was supposed to be capable of working on CarPlay it is not.

  • Expansive but buggy app

    I am using for bike touring. It crashes multiple day a day, even when it’s not navigating or calculating anything.

    It doesn’t link to OSM on the computer, which is disappointing. Just now it randomly drained 40% of my battery in 8 minutes while calculating a route that half an hour ago it had calculated just fine. This is the first time that has happened but it often takes longer than expected or desired to calculate a route.

    It voice navigation is often timed a little wrong which has me take wrong turns.

    Like I’ll keep using it bc Google maps doesn’t have the features I need but I am very frustrated by it. and I wish at bare minimum it wasn’t so buggy.

  • Payant pour CarPlay

    J’aimais bien cette application mais il faut maintenant faire des paiements soit pas mois ou par année pour avoir CarPlay. J’aurai préféré l’acheter juste une fois. Je reviens à mon bon vrai GPS Garmin à cause de ça.

  • Go to app for all cycling adventures

    This app was recommended to me whil I was on a bike race last year 4000km. After the race I got to use it more and found it a great simple resource to find any feature I needed especially services, food, water, shops and camp sites. But also much more too. It takes maybe a hour to bother to read the instructions and play with the features. Yet it becomes the very handiest tool to use. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT TO ALL.

  • Just can’t be trusted

    Really wanted to like this app because I hate Google tracking everything about us,,, but it just isn’t robust enough. Have used it a few months on a few trips. This last trip the app seemed to know the destination was approximately 260 miles away but when calculating a route the time and distance estimates were wildly inaccurate like by hundreds of miles and several hours. The route on the map seemed correct but while traveling beyond cell service in somewhat remote areas of MT, WY, and SD I wasn’t happy with “guessing”. Don’t trust this app. And yes I spent hours tweaking it and attempting to understand how it works. The app is not mission critical and can’t be trusted. Best of luck for those that want to tinker with it. Just doesn’t make the cut for real world application.
