I use Organic Maps regularly and I’d love to get rid of Google Maps eventually, but they don’t really fulfill the same purpose to me. It’s awesome for hiking (which Google Maps is useless for) but meh for Navigation and almost useless for finding information about shops, restaurants etc in an area.
You are nagged to add info about POIs afaik, even by shop owners
Meanwhile OSM has nothing. OpenPlaceReviews is confusing as heck. There is no centrally available image host (and you cant just upload insane amounts of data like videos of everything, like on Google).
Things that could lift OSMAnd (which is more poweful but also more confusing and slower than OM) to those standards:
“Just upload a photo” to some host.
A review system that works
API integration for public transport services like DB. Those already do navigation really well, but no routing directions etc.
