i first considered this when maps.me went to shreds. for a while, i used both organic maps and osmand for my cycling trips. the cleaner interface of organic maps won me over. my main gripe at that time was the absence of a route import function. the dev team added that recently. now, i can import both kml and gpx formats.
now, if there is a way to save the in-app planned routes, that would be a huge help.

im using memmy and thunder. i would like to try the other apps on my ogse but they all require the latest iOS. i also like pixelfed but could only browse it using pixeldroid in android because of the same reason.
if its not unreasonably difficult, i hope devs will consider compatibility with older systems as some of us are not using the latest iphones.
