Note: This setup is both for my android and pc Edit: For those recommending paid services and selfhosting, I don't have the money nor resources for either. Also it seams some people are confusing my android setup with my PC setup so I'll write it down. Android: Brave(movies) + Ironfox, Search: Brave + DDG, VPN: Proton ( not always on), GPay = Cash, Auth= Aegis Auth, Pass: KeepassDX, PC: Firefox= Librewolf, VPN = No VPN (VERY slow internet), Search: Searxng + DDG, Pass: KeepassXC,

Yeah, OsmAnd is really good; it's what I use as my daily driver. CoMaps/Organic to me feel too limited, but some people may like that.

(I use Vespucci for editing on Android.)

Excellent. Ty for the open letter too. I hadn't gotten around to understanding why there was a fallout, but now I know.

Its installed in my android head unit in my car, and it just works, and there's a lot (and I mean a lot) of stuff it can do, so I really enjoy it as my daily driver (ha! Get it?) in my car.

Except OsmAnd hiding functionality behind a cloud with paywall.

Try the OsmAnd open-source version, which has all the OsmAnd+ features unlocked for free: https://f-droid.org/packages/net.osmand.plus/

So this version gets all the paid cloud features, too?

[–] treasure@feddit.org 1 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

I'm not sure if I know all of the paid cloud features in the current version (and I don't really want to download it). You can download unlimited maps, which made me switch back in the days.
