I must say I am impressed with Organic maps already. OsmAnd, and Google maps for that matter, are much slower.

Apart from the question “why not just OsmAnd?”

Google Maps alternative with every feature I need—but it also protects my privacy while I’m getting around

Proceeds to include Google Store link…

Take this instead

Organic maps can’t find a business that’s 15 miles from my location and has been there for years, but it can find another branch that’s 90 miles away. Not a useful option.
