How is OSMAnd these days? I'd love to use it, but I had to switch to Magic Earth due to some issues with rerouting when you deviate from the original directions.
It still hasn't an intuitive UI, some options are a bit too well hidden. But everything is there and I haven't had any bugs over the last year.
I used it for setting routes for hiking, recording routes for OSM edits, navigating bike and car, saving places I visited,... Love the app.
I forgot to mention: the search for adresses also needs a little bit to get used to. I wish I could turn on an online search, so that I can find places I haven't downloaded yet.
Haven't had rerouting issues recently using it while cycling and on public transit, fixes itself pretty quickly
Never had any issues.
I has problems with that too but I reckon it was fixed a few weeks ago, rerouting is basically instant from what I can tell, but maybe I configured it to be a bit better in the settings and forgot... Also try organic maps of you want another alternative
