i first considered this when maps.me went to shreds. for a while, i used both organic maps and osmand for my cycling trips. the cleaner interface of organic maps won me over. my main gripe at that time was the absence of a route import function. the dev team added that recently. now, i can import both kml and gpx formats.
now, if there is a way to save the in-app planned routes, that would be a huge help.
Wait what happened to maps.me? I still have it installed but barely use it but fondly remember the days hiking with it or exploring new towns.
From Wikipedia
Ah. I tried it recently while overseas, noticed it had been completely enshitified, then came across organic maps. It's better than maps.me ever was, so good riddance.
last i used it, it became a slow, resource-hogging, ad-riddled, bloated mess.
It was sold and got worse into he last years. The goof news is that some of the original developers of maps.me made a fork of that application... Organic Maps.
Btw:
