    Can you use OpenStreetMap like Google Maps?

    I tried to use it to list restaurants but the UI reacted like nobody had ever tried that before

      Partly, with Organic Maps or CoMaps.

      However, in my opinion TomTom (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;play.google.com&#x2F;store&#x2F;apps&#x2F;details?id=com.tomtom.speedcams.android.map">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;play.google.com&#x2F;store&#x2F;apps&#x2F;details?id=com.tomtom.spe... or <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;apps.apple.com&#x2F;us&#x2F;app&#x2F;tomtom-maps-traffic&#x2F;id1438106561">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;apps.apple.com&#x2F;us&#x2F;app&#x2F;tomtom-maps-traffic&#x2F;id14381065...) is still the best way to use OpenStreetMap for navigation since it combines OSM data with their own real time traffic information without dark patterns or asking for an account like Waze or Maps do.

        I tried the TomTom app (on iOS) recently but found it incredibly buggy, especially when connected to CarPlay. The speed indicator would often just show 1mph, the dark mode would work about 20% of the time, and searches would show results from other countries ahead of a place 4 miles up the road.
