It’s essentially an open source fork of maps.me by the original creators.

I’ve been using OSMAnd for years, but it always felt laggy and not that reliable. Searching was slow and so on. Many street or things it didn’t instantly find.

In the Graphene App Store I jnust discovered Accrescent (another app store thing but only with like 10 apps - they’re all gold though, god damn)

An in there I found organic maps. And this shit is google maps level responsive. If you’re on the lookout for a google maps replacement - consider trying this.

Byeeee

    I noticed that it only downloads local maps initially. You can download more maps and expand the area that it searches in. Maybe this is why you are having issues with searches? I assume that if you search for a place in a map that it hasn’t downloaded it may have trouble finding it.

      Nope. I type in SPAR and it gives me a bunch of random results 150km away.

      I type in Grocery and it gives me SPAR 1.5km away.

      I need to type in the exact address for it to find a place, with no errors. Otherwise I can type a category name and hope that it finds it and that I guessed right, that also works.

      If you type in a partial name (I.e. not the full legal name including company abbreviations) of a store it will break itself and show you completely random unrelated results from a random place in the country.

      I took a bunch of screenshots a while back as proof.

      It is fundamentally broken, and it is widely reported IIRC, but I don’t know if there are any issues open about it.
