I tried osmand~ from f droid (which is essentially the paid version) and for browsing it works great. Navigation was pretty bad however. I had a lot of issue where when I click to find a route to an address it would get stuck and never route. Also in my testing, it would take you some pretty bizarre routes where I couldn’t trust it. I am unfortunately back to Google maps that I dowloaded through the aurorastore using as anonymously as I can without any Google account on my device.
While OSMand has taken me through some scenic routes, rather than more direct routes, Google Maps had me exiting and re-entering highways for fun!
Check the navigation routing options in OSMand, because that will influence how it routes you.
In line with my experience, tried it to plan a route around northern France this summer and it got stuck a couple of times. Essentially, it tried to route me back to a position earlier in the route and would not recalculate, resulting in me going in a circle twice. Especially annoying if you are on the motorbike and cannot just restart the navigation mid-ride. Switched to the openstreetmap app, their navigation never did such a thing to me. Very weird since the projects seem to be somehow related
