OsmAnd is a genuinely amazing app that I have been using for literally 14 years. For everything other than business information, it's clearly the best in class. Far better than the new kid on the FOSS block Organic Maps, let alone certain commercial apps that shall remain nameless. It's always a surprise to me how few normies have even heard of OsmAnd. Possibly not helped by the awkward semi-pronouncable name.
I'm just bothered by one thing: the ongoing opacity about OsmAnd's business model. They provide no explanations at all, despite the slick site and what appears to be an impressive staff list. They need to be more transparent about who's paying for all this and how.

Hope we're not bothering here but if you're looking for more maps just take a look at our map Lokjo.
It doesn't have offline maps or an app, but does show all shops at once, and has the navigation etc.
