On the journey to degoogle my life and wanted to ask if the community prefers OSMAnd+ or Organic Maps for driving navigation. I got OSMAnd+ but now started to hear some really good things about organic Maps. Was wondering if I should consider switching.

I just downloaded both yesterday. Do these use the same maps/databases or what's the difference?

I noticed OM gives more detailed control about downloading smaller map bits.

They both get their data from Open Street Maps
