    Hell yeah, this is cool. Anyone have experience using O Maps or CoMaps for day-to-day navigation? I’ve never thought of going FOSS for this sort of thing, I would love to give Google one less piece of my data.

      It doesn’t have traffic data, which is probably the biggest disadvantage. The maps are user contributed, so the quality varies widely. Depending on where you are, it’ll be ridiculously detailed with individual bushes in a park, or it’s incorrect or outdated and you can’t find your destination. I usually use this or OSMand, but I still keep google maps on another profile as a backup.
