    It’s perfect to me. The version I have from F-droid does forward-is-up when you click “start” after doing a route, but I prefer north-is-up, so I don’t click start, and it behaves exactly as I prefer.

    It’s the first OSM-based map app I’ve used that can navigate to a number on a street, and it does it perfectly.

    The search works perfectly. I live on, lets say, 123 fake street w. If I search “123 fake st.”, or “123 fake street”, or “123 fake street w.”, the correct result always comes up.

    It has frequent enough updates to correctly route around road work.

    I’ve struggled through many other open source mapping tools for smartphone since 2013, because I refused to use a proprietary app. This is the first one I recommend to everyone, including non-freedom-minded people.

      Your experience with search is very different from mine. For me search is slow and error prone. Maybe the problem is that I live in a rural area and street names occur in many different towns in the area.
