I tried 4 of these damn things over the past few days 2 were ad filled nonsense. This looks like a reskin of something else I tried. It doesn’t have turn by turn.
Are you sure you are using the app that i linked to? Because you can clearly see in the screenshots on the app store that it has turn by turn instructions.
Comaps is a fork of organic maps but neither has ads and they are basically identical feature wise.
Turn by turn only works when you have location turned on of course.
Okay don’t turns out I had to download the maps first and then it kinda works. Voice selection isn’t working right but will likely be fixed eventually. I just need to get used to it. Thanks.
Ah yeah i didnt think of that, my bad i guess thats not obvious coming from normal map apps. Yes its intended to be completely offline capable for privacy and so you can go hiking in the middle of nowhere.
Yep it uses a selection of the most important data from OSM because the entire thing would be too huge to keep on your phone. You download the map in sections so region/city based but you can also just get an entire country which will be a few GB.
It can import/export bookmarks and record and import gpx tracks. Has TTS support and you can even edit things (like opening hours and stuff) if you have an OSM account.
Comaps is available for iphones :3

I’ve looked at apps like these and weirdly it’s just map you can search through. There’s no turn by turn directions.
It very much has routing, route saving, turn by turn instructions, voice instructions and more. Idk what you mean.
I couldn’t get it to work. Is it only in Europe that works?
I dont use apple devices so i cant test it, but i thought it would be identical to the android experience.

A little confused, is this basically the same thing as Open Street Maps, just in app form?
They use OSM as source for maps, yes.
Not sure how much they add, aside from offline functionality.
Other apps add extra data sources.
