OSMAnd is visually difficult to parse (especially at a glance) and fairly complicated to use. It is not a good map app.

Fun, I guess this is just a question of habit. Nowadays I use OSMAnd mostly, and when I have to use Google's Maps (OSMAnd's search isn't great, and public transportation isn't there), I'm lost, and the app never shows the information I want.

It's happened to me a lot of times with Google's Maps (with regard to how frequent I use Google's Maps) that I'm looking for something, I KNOW it's there, I'm searching for it (like "groceries" for a grocery store), and the only way Google's Maps would ever show it to me is by zooming it until the ONLY thing on screen is building, and then it does display it.

I had the same feeling. I now use Organic Maps which I find much better.
