OsmAnd is great and it's what I have on my phone, however it has a very un-intuitive UI and I often have to search for what feels ages to find a particular functionality.

It might be because I don't need a map often or maybe I'm just an idiot :)

Same thing for me, I love OsmAnd and I paid to support it, but I'm frequently completely lost in the UI. I have used it for years and still I often need to kill it to be able to leave the menu.

I think the main issue is that the app is not intuitive, so you have to sit down and take the time to memorize how to do stuff with it before you need to do it live on the road. And I've never done that, my bad, I really should take the time.

it has a very rich (or maybe feature laden) UI, that's certainly right. For questions and in case you happen to have a Telegram account, you can join Osmand's telegram channel with developers present!
