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.

Organic Maps has a more simple approach and is more like Google Maps. OSMAnd~ has a much broader feature set.

I didn't use any for driving, but I can tell you that I switched to OrganicMaps from osmand+ for all other navigation. The main reasons are speed (OM feels a lost smoother and snappier), and functionality (it's minimal, but just works very well). I had no real use for all the bells and wistles of osmand+, so OM made sense for me.

I prefer Organic Maps honestly.
