As a consumer, I was just looking for mobile apps. I couldn't find any on this page. Are there any?
Maps.me is a good alternative to Osmand. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mapswithme...

have you tried OsmAnd https://osmand.net/ ? I'm using it for years, travelling around the world when i need to have offline maps with me and it works good most of the time. I'm not saying it's the best and the fastest map, but it helped me tons of time to find an A-> B route - being a pedestrian, a cyclist or travelling by a public transport
The biggest drawback for me (coming from someone who exclusively uses OsmAnd for nav) is the lack of geocoding. I can't just type in an address and get a reliable destination pin to navigate to, instead I have to paste the address into a website that will convert it to lat/long first and then use that to drop the pin. That's the main issue that prevents me from recommending OsmAnd to people like my wife who are happy…

Maps.me is what finally has allowed me to mostly switch with offline maps, good routing, and support for all modes of transit I use consistently. https://maps.me/
Unfortunately it looks like they may share your data with third parties, which includes their parent company, mail.ru. I personally don’t trust them.

Tangentially, I’ve been trying to get my company on the list of providers for upwards of 6 months to a year, and my MR and Issue in GitHub have not had any movement. Anyone here know someone who could help resolve that? We pretty clearly fit the guidelines for inclusion.
Ok.. i want to serve tiles... ok, I go here: https://switch2osm.org/serving-tiles/ First option (Build a tile server using packages) ... i click on it.. ubuntu packages... i don't have ubuntu here, let's go back.

The "all in one solution" link used to point to TileMill, which is no longer maintained: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/TileMill
I've tried over and over again to switch to OSM but everytime I've reverted back to Google Maps and Citymapper. I've even contributed to OSM to fix bits I'm around but it's hard. I don't drive so I rely heavily on public transport, and so for me that's the biggest selling point for any such tool. Unfortunately I've yet to find an OSM app that can do this in a useful manner as Citmapper and Google do. Unfortunately th…

A few years ago I did make my own tiles for Paris from OSM; it's pretty exciting to be able to design everything. But it's a lot of work that has to be redone constantly to keep up with map changes... Not realistic for a small organization (or an individual!) unfortunately.

Has bug-correcting editing improved over the years? We use OSM quite a bit in the public sector because they aren’t snooping. Three years ago one of our internal routing systems broke because someone had reported the street leading up to our administration center as a one-way street in the wrong direction. This meant our 7000 employees couldn’t get compensation for any work related driving, and we couldn’t submit the…
