Sunset Sakura (:osm: Nelson)<p>Google Maps (and Apple on iPhones) have a monopoly over digital navigation. Their product is genuinely very good, with only some shortfalls. I would like to see a world where there is an actual competitor to Google Maps, based on OSM data, but the current two apps - OsmAnd and Organic Maps - are good but not great. This is mainly due to popularity (low funding + contributions) but there are many things they don't provide.

Sunset Sakura (:osm: Nelson)<p>I love contributing to OpenStreetMap - it's one of my favourite hobbies - but there are many ways that it falls short when providing navigation apps, especially when compared to Google Maps. Over the next few weeks I'm going to be collecting my thoughts on the topic and posting them here.</p><p><a href="https://en.osm.town/tags/OSMMusings" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OSMMusings</span></a> <a href="https://en.osm.town/tags/OpenStreetMap" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OpenStreetMap</span></a> <a href="https://en.osm.town/tags/OSM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OSM</span></a> <a href="https://en.osm.town/tags/Navigation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Navigation</span></a> <a href="https://en.osm.town/tags/GoogleMaps" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GoogleMaps</span></a></p>
