I've been using Waze for the past year but I just looked it up and realised that it's also owned by Google. I tried using OsmAnd yesterday twice, but the first time I went through a tunnel it just stopped giving directions when I came out of the tunnel (a bug I assume). The second time on the way home, it took me down the wrong exit and I almost ended up at the airport!

Anybody have a better experience with other apps? I've just installed Organic Maps so I'll see how that goes this week.

Best I've seen so far is organic maps. It's very good on local It shows you all the building numbers around you which is kind of nice. However it does not work well on long trips. And more than once I've had to download fairly large blocks of extra tiles if I'm not on an interstate.

To get you back and forth to a doctor or a dentist or a couple of towns over it's fabulous.
