Awesome, I've been looking for a hiking app.
Osmand is still better for hiking, despite the flaws it has otherwise.
What makes it better?
Highlight user defined points of interest (viewpoints, benches, picnic tables,...) as well as to display officially defined hiking routes in a different color.
Maybe it's possible but I didn't see how to do it but in Osmand I can easily set multiple waypoints, so viewpoint in 3km, waterfall in another 3km, etc.
IMO Osmand is more of a toolbox than a mere navigator. OTOH performance is dismal. Everything is stuttering all the time whereas Organic Maps is smooth. So I have both installed for different use cases.
