    I have been using OsmAnd today to get ready to leave Gmaps because of this news. It was better then I remembered and my number 1 peeve was no lane preference display (for highway driving specifically), but that works now too!

    I’ll miss traffic predictions and live traffic rerouting :-( Sigh, guess I’ll pay that price. I #&@$ing hate distractions during driving, and now they think I’ll allow my own phone to do that? Google is rotten to the core and the road way from them is annoying and boring. Buckle up y’all. Bring magazines.

      That’s the only feature I’m using it for. The car’s built-in navigation is sufficient for “dumb” routing.

      OsmAnd is pretty good. It’s not as easy as GMaps, but that’s understandable. If we all use and support alternatives more, we’ll likely spur their development.
