Ratings and reviews

This is a cleaner app than Google Maps -- less clutter on the screen and a more intuitive interface. It also runs much faster than Maps on the same hardware. I like the ability to download maps state-by-state as I need them. My only complaint is that it asks about once a week for me to upgrade to a subscription, when I have already paid for the "plus" app. I click the "X" and it stops asking for a few more days.

I have been using OsmAnd for a few years and find it fantastic. I love that I have full control if all my stored addresses, favorites, routes etc. I have used it all over Europe, USA and Canada and it had worked extremely well, mostly when I have been offline. I have found the user interface a bit confusing. I like that there are many options available to you but feel they could be better organized. I'd strongly recommend this software, especially if you like offline use.

The maps themselves are excellent, maybe the best out there. However the navigation features are lacking. Most local businesses are missing. For example, it says the closest Home Depot is over 200 mi away while there is actually one 2 mi away. Also the user interface is cumbersome for car navigation because it tries to do too many other things.
