Same, I have recently installed LineageOS on my phone and was looking for various replacements for Goggle apps. What I really like about OrganicMaps is that it downloads the maps locally, so you can view it even if you aren't connected to the internet.

google maps can do that too though

IIRC At one point Google Maps would let you download a map for browsing, but you couldn't do offline navigation. Don't know if that's still the case.

Organic Maps does the routing on the device.

it's had offline navigation for years now

Thanks, I wasn't aware of that. I should have really had this information a year ago when I was constantly screenshotting Google Maps, LOL.

The feature looks made ugly on purpose though (compared to organic maps where you can just download the whole country or select more precisely what you want)
