I just ran the two apps side-by-side and barely found any differences other than some subtle UI changes. How exactly is it different? And how is Organic Maps being enshittified?
I haven’t been keeping up with Organic Maps updates to see if they differ but I’d assume they’re basically functionally the same, except for potentially Kayak results.
The only Organic Maps controversy I’m aware of was the presence of certain closed-source elements on what they claim to be a FOSS app, and that the main developer refused to open up, then partially did, then backtracked and never fully released.
Maybe that’s what that user is referring to? Not sure.
Of course, I don’t mean speed, I meant the search format. On Google I can search for an address with the usual format of 123 Street, City. If I search that way on Organic/Co, it doesn’t pop up results the same way. I just never understood it besides being an offline map for my reference.
Try CoMaps instead of Organic Maps. It’s a fork because Organic Maps is starting to enshittify

Thanks for the link. I just made the switch to CoMaps because I’m tired of enshittification.

Man, I had hoped they fixed the search.
Those apps are fictionally useless for me. Does anyone know how to use it?
you mean comaps? Search is just a bit slow but not a big deal at all. I’d rather that than having Google spy on my ass everywhere I go.

You could add addresses to Open Street Maps
