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.

Thanks for bringing it to my attention. I think I used an apk from way before and now after updating it I see their new beautiful UI. Pretty nice.

I'm also all for OSS, but in this case, for me, there's no OSS alternative for navigation. Both CoMaps and OsmAnd can be used for it, but not tailored to do it.

As a frequent and satisfied user, I'm happy to contribute to their development. 15 EUR annually doesn't seem far fetched, but you can actually get the Premium package on their site for 6 EUR (link to the pricing page). That's like 3-4 can of beers kind of money.

Thanks!

6€ per year would be reasonable for me. I'm just a casual user. I may need it only once every other month.

That's nice to read, happy you found a solution fitting for you. Also happy to read you'd like to contribute, sometimes I get mixed feedback when it's about giving back somehow to these devs.
