I’ve never found an app that works as well as Google Maps. I’ve tried a bunch and none of them provide so much useful information during a drive. Like telling me what lane I need to be in for an upcoming direction, letting me know the speed limit and what speed I’m actually going (motorcycle speedo reads high). Giving me info on slowdowns ahead and letting me reroute if there is a faster route. Speed trap notifications.

OSMAnd has all of those features.

I tried that and the UI felt janky as fuck. Definitely not something I’d want to mess with during a ride.

That’s too bad. Works really well for me.

A ride? Like on a bike? If so I’d recommend a cycling to computer.

Motorcycle, as I mentioned in the previous post.
