    There are two primary issues with Organic Maps that I keep running into:

    1. No live traffic. This will probably be the case with any fully FOSS solution, as there isn’t currently a good way to gather that kind of data that respects privacy and also has enough recent data to be useful. (Not a deal breaker for me though.)

    2. No alternate routes. This is a much bigger issue for me and keeps me largely on Magic Earth (OSM data but closed source app.) There are cases where there are multiple routes to a destination that are equal in time. Magic Earth will identify those and let me pick between them before it starts routing.

    This is a super useful feature and I hope it comes to Organic Maps at some point.

    Otherwise, really nice app and I enjoy using it for routes that I’m not really in a rush to get to or that are otherwise familiar.
