I liked using it but 15€/year for navigation is too much for me. I'm going to stick to osmand now. At least osmand is open source. It has roughly the same features. It's just not that beautiful. I paid for osmand btw. What's your alternative?

Edit: And I like paying for osmand because it is open source.

I like Organic Maps. UI is clear and simple-ish to use.

However, it lacks quite a lot compared to the (cluttered UI of) OSMand.

Edit: great mentality there. You could at least tell me the pros of your favorite solution and the cons of organic map before Downvoting me.

Anyone else wanting to move to CoMaps but procrastinating because they'd have to go about downloading the maps again?

I did move last week and it's such a difference. A clean refreshing interface without all the clutter, also much snappier, maps don't take time to refresh.

You can download maps while having WiFi connection and, for a start, focus on the maps of the country you are staying in at the moment.

CoMaps has optional 3D view of buildings and surprised me with how few features it has, yet exactly the features one needs. That way the interface is clean while I'm not missing anything.

It even has quick access to Wikipedia articles built in so you get directly information of points you click on.

Object information is down to what you need, like floor level, pbone number, opening times.

Import/Export for all location data.
