#2it's a great app, I use it whenever I have bad Internet coverage or when I want to use open street map, for example when hiking. It's really a competitor of commercial apps.

#6I used this for my family's recent trip in Lisbon and Prague. It worked great! The OSM data was reasonably up-to-date for all of our destinations; I don't remember encountering bad information, even though I often double-checked with other mapping providers (which aren't immune to issues with out-of-date information).

There sometimes feels like there is something slightly off with the "Route To/From" UX that I can't put my finger on, but no complaints.

It beats using IP based Geocoding.

Best ist you can directly report the broken tap from the app. So the dates will be fixed.
