Maps

Crosspost. I got good recommendations on another community and I am interested in your picks.

Edit (original post text)

Which are you using?

For most things (day trips, few km after work…) I use multiple of them.

Mapy.cz

  • online and offline mobile app
  • trip planner works pretty well
  • you can check out places (photos, reviews…) when online
  • well maped whole Europe
  • not enough information about roads (asphalt, paved, gravel…)
  • basically interactive version of KČT maps

Cykloserver.cz

  • can’t find app
  • basic planner, but better for drawing your route
  • much more helpful info about roads
  • it is just automatically scaled paper map, so you have to know how to read it

Osm clients - I tried multiple of them.

Paper maps - from the same company that makes the Cycloserver maps. You can get set of them for about 100€ (CZ not sure about SK). There is just something special about planning trip on paper maps.

hemko,

Organic maps and osmand~ android apps are both great

For route planning I love bikerouter bikerouter.de

Organic maps

https://organicmaps.app/

It’s not overly complicated, doesn’t eat up data, has offline mode and works well for both driving and cycling. Oh and it’s FOSS, community driven, no data collecting.

Organic maps as a map works quite well. Its routing leaves much to be desired for cycling though.

github.com/organicmaps/organicmaps/issues/1518 would help with that.

I am not a power user of OM, but did not have any issues with routing so far. …but again I did not test it for many scenarios while cycling as I mainly stick to my usual routes.

I mostly use OsmAnd for everything.

Also www.opencyclemap.org is nice if you want to find bicycle paths.

Another nice tool is www.komoot.com as it has a lot of features for planning (longer) trips by foot or bike.

I also like BRouter - e.g. brouter.m11n.de . There other versions of this with different settings and languages.

I think all of them are based on OSM data, but they augment them in various ways.

Nemo,

I live in Chicago. You don’t need maps here.
