Google maps is more than just a map. You can submit pictures of a restaurant to gmaps. Google knows that the business still exists and other people can validate the data. On osmand you don’t even see how the restaurant looks like.

This kind of app https://github.com/Discostu36/OSM-Photos is needed for osm to succeed and become mainstream.

Imagine connecting activitypub to osm POIs. People/users would interact with the map.

Cool! That makes me happy :) I dono to osmand, I love the app. I also created my own style. Love it :)

Magic earth has a more traditional navigation system approach, that’s why I like it more.

I am back to using google maps here and there. I haven’t been using it for 2 years but relying on gmaps in the short term is better than relying on nothing if the map is not yet covered by osm. At the same time I improve the osm map until it becomes usable.

Osmand is for hikin, biking, skating, quick overview for cars, map exploring, etc… for actual car driving, I use magic earth because it’s a navigation system. Osmand is a map with routing capabilities.

SCEE is better than SC. I ditched SE once SCEE came out. Every door is useful for bulk editing.

For armchair mapping josm, ofc.

I’d recommend that you use the app that’s appropriate for the job and not the skill level.

Osmand is best for hiking. better than any other map, yes better than gmaps, here, bing, etc. Magic earth is better for car navigation than gmaps. Every door is very quick in documenting the number of floors buildings have. Josm is very efficient in documenting the roof color of buildings. SCEE is great for documenting road surfaces.
