How does your everyday map look like? Which map style do you use?

The rendering in Organic Maps is great I think.
Yeah, OSMAnd’s rendering is clunky
Last week I was driving with my sister and she said, looking at OsmAnd: “What app is this? I don’t understand anything on that map!”. I think that it takes some time to get used to OsmAnd map style, but it’s very clear after you understand it (clearer than Organic Maps, in my opinion).
Depends on what you want from the map. I’d like a map to look good when using it and I don’t think OSMand achieves that. But that’s personal taste… Editing it I actually prefer Carto or even the raw import in JOSM.
Sure. But I like OsmAnd because I can tell very fast which are major roads and which aren’t (and driving in a big city you don’t know it can be useful).
Yeah Organic Maps is so beatiful! Osmand looks kind of ugly. I am an engineer and Osmand style looks like it’s made by an engineer while Organic Maps looks like it has received the love of some caring designer!
There’s imo better looking themes for it. I like the look of the cycloroute theme, toned down greens etc. But I am so used to the standard osmand theme that I just keep using that.
OsmAnd re-rendering whenever I move the mapsl sucks arse. Very bad UX.
@randomaccount43543 @youslashuser So true, plus @organicmaps loads much faster. On the other hand, #OSMand has more features for power users.
I like the default OSM carto style, however as an everyday map while walking I mostly use Streetcomplete (or sometimes everydoor) as I like the ability to make edits.
We need a tron option
What’s tron?
Probably Goldmaster is talking about the film Tron Legacy
That is correct, there was a webpage that could transform a map into something like tron
I absolutely love CyclOSM. It’s great for bike commuting, as it differentiates between separated cycle paths and cycle lanes, shows one-way streets that allow opposite bicycle traffic, good/bad surface quality, 20 and 30 km/h streets and bike stands.
I use Organic Maps for daily use, and OSMAnd for outdoors activities like hiking etc. The added info and features in OSMAnd are indispensable for outdoors use.
CyclOSM 99% of the time.
