Magic Earth

Company Overview

An OpenStreetMap client with routing for iOS and Android.

In 2023 Organic Maps got its first million users

Had the same experience, and ended up being satisfied with Magic Earth[1]. I tried more or less every major navigation service (paid and “free”), and I ended up sticking with it. And no, I’m not affiliated in any way; just wanted to share a recommendation because I was in the same boat. [1]https://magicearth.com.

Does your city have the bicycle route option for Google Maps? Mine doesn’t.

Don’t bother with Google Maps. Not just for cycling but also for driving. There’s better options like Osmand or Magic Earth that actually use a map instead of a yellow pages for navigation.

Migrating from iOS, deciding if installing Calyx or Graphene on Pixel 4a

Try Magic Earth for a Google Maps replacement (you can try it out on your iPhone now and download via Aurora Store on CalyxOS). It’s better than Google Maps in many aspects (except public transport and looking up places, but you can easily use separate apps for that, namely the app/website of your local public transport company and a search engine/Yelp/TripAdvisor).
